did the t-bird perform the way you would expect a 
205 hp car of that nature to perform???....then again, even though it's
205 hp, the t-bird is a load......between the weight of the car, and typical
power losses going from the engine to the rear wheels, the real, effective 
power getting to the road is probably less than that of a Q with 170hp....
a Taurus SHO would probably fare better....
