What car is the same as Ford Probe?
The Mazda MX-6 of this time frame was on the same chassis as the Probe, used the same engine as a Probe, and much of the interior was similar as well. It made sense for Mazda who needed boost in America and Ford who needed to get themselves modernized and better positioned in the game.

Why did the Ford Probe fail?
Even within Ford’s lineup, the Mustang trumped the Probe for performance driving and the Thunderbird was a superior personal luxury car. On top of all that, the Probe was considered expensive. So why was the Probe ultimately discontinued? It boiled down to poor sales.
How fast was the Ford Probe GT?

The Ford 427 SOHC Cammer V8 is one of the rarest and most desirable big block V8 engines ever made. Unusually for an American V8 it has overhead cams rather than pushrods as it was built specifically for racing.
