Maybe it's just this particular T-Bird....but what makes that even scarier is that upon start-up it idles high....so if you put your foot on the brake and accidentally touch the gas also.....really wants to jump.

Find myself really having to remind myself every time I get in it to be sure to have the foot JUST on the brake pedal.

Shoe size is only 11.5?

Hard top takes 2 good size humans to remove & store.

It's 280 HP I think .....but weighs about 500 lbs more than the XFs.....so it's a tight race in a straight line....XF would definitely take it in a real road race thru curves & twisties. My XFs get about 25 mpg (I drive a lot on highways)........T-Bird probably < 20. Don't drive it much.
