You admit to owning more then one Topaz!:Q
LOL that's what I was thinking 😉
Isn't that the same as a Ford Escort? Were you thinking that you two were soul-mates or something?
The Topaz is the same as the Ford Tempo. The Tracer is the same as the Escort.
And Viperoni, I can understand 1 but 2!
The othe one is actually going to be my moms whenever she gets her license. Mine is for surprising ricers 🙂
Ah, ok. And yeah, I didn't figure a Topaz could run 16's. I'm amazed that car even came with a 5-speed.
Not only that...believe it or not, they also came in AWD versions. From Yahoo Autos:
The Basics
The Mercury Topaz and similar Ford Tempo arrived in 1986. Powerplants included a 2.3-liter overhead-valve 4-cylinder and a so-called "High Output"
version of the same engine that raised horsepower from 98 to an even 100. A 5-speed manual transmission was standard, while a 3-speed automatic was optional. Motorized automatic shoulder belts were standard for driver and passenger alike. However, an optional driver-side airbag was on the option list. Topaz came in both 2-door and 4-door versions. The 1990 GS and LS models could also be ordered with a part-time 4-wheel-drive system.
I always thought it would be kind of cool to have a nasty looking AWD Topaz - completely stock appearance, with an assortment of dents/rust spots - with a built up 2.3 turbo motor hiding in it to wail on ricers 😀. Good luck finding one, though.
