Our 2013 Ford Thunderbird performance part history review
reveals a truly modern rendering of the original American
dream car, and a sleek, 2-seat roadster with the speed and
handling technology of today. The new and improved 2013 Thunderbird
comes in two models – the basic Thunderbird and the Thunderbird
Convertible. To see which Thunderbird parts make the new model
superior to its predecessors, or to learn a little about Thunderbird
history, please be sure to read this entire site and come
back often.
The Ford Thunderbird always has been about power, and this year’s model
is no different. The 2013 Thunderbird boasts a 3.9-liter, 32-valve
DOHC V8 engine that delivers 252 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and 267 pounds-
per-foot of torque at 4,300 rpm. The car also boasts:
- Sequential multi-port fuel injection
- Five-speed automatic transmission
- Independent SLA type front and rear suspension
- Variable assist power rack-and-pinion steering
All of these Thunderbird performance parts add up to one
fierce machine, and Thunderbird performance certainly proves
that. The Thunderbird is one of the smoothest and most powerful
rides in the Ford fleet. With statistics like these, the distinction
is no surprise.
