Hey Mondie, I'd need an 'offsider".....Interested?... Really though, wouldn't something along these lines work?

This would work, absolutely.

Ford are struggling to keep up with standard T's, but buyers would go crazy for something like this. l know l would.

XR6T with 300kw, XR8 gearbox, Fairmont Ghia base, Premium brakes, bonnet flutes ala XA GT as XFwannaBA suggests, debadged but with a couple of FPV badges only, discrete rear spoiler - maybe even none, unique 18" alloys.

One colour, Falchoons Yellow Glow, and a price tag around $65k, manual only, 150 limited run.

Does Geoff Polites visit this site B)

well they'd need a run of 158.because they can still market 150 and give each of us on this thread(So far)a free one in return for such a marvelous idea.

This is an idea that would really work I really would be tempted for one over even a GT...maybe it could be a boosted "little brother" for the GT-HO?

I don't have anything to add, I just thought I'd post on this thread so that I could get one of these "little brothers" for free! :D

How do you think a limited edition XR6T would go? Marketed through FPV.. Maybe in a colour that is distinctive ( already thought of Yellow Blaze, NOT citric, I mean a solid bright yellow, your thoughts?) Maybe a GT nose, Different bonnet ( not the V8 bulge , maybe an air scoop off to one side?) REALLY stand alone 18's ( shadow chrome finish), High rear wing, Interior with Recaro type "XR TURBO"embroided seats, few more gauges ( Boost gauge?).. Brembo's Or an alternative "premium brake system" Factory big bore exhaust, & intercooler, ( maybe an extra 20- 30 kws) and of course individually numbered .. 0- 100?.. Put a $65,000 price tag on em.. And they'd be "walking out the showroom"? What are we gunna call them??

Bored at work and doing some thread mining..... I must of been psychic back in early 2003?.... We'll call it a TYPHOON!!
