Member 1,452 Member For: 21y 5m 14d Gender: Male Location: Canberra Posted 22/04/05 03:43 AM Share Posted 22/04/05 03:43 AM Well Ive seen pics in some mag of Falcon GTs in Germany at ZF's HQ, presumably theyre testing the 6spd.I mean the Typhoon has no auto yet, 70% of XRs are auto, of course Ford are shopping around for an auto for this model.ufo,the email from Ford is probably half right, its not confirmed but theyre working on it.

The 6 speed auto isn't a big secret anymore with the amount of info availible on it, plus the pictures taken etc however, this doesn't mean Ford will admit it yet.

ufo Member 24 Member For: 19y 8m 16d Posted 22/04/05 04:07 AM Author Share Posted 22/04/05 04:07 AM Hey turbo6man,I am not trying to fool anybody, I am just forwarding what I received from Ford.Your reply is bit in contradiction to the mateship I have observed on this site from XR6T owners.I am very enthusiastic about the idea of the new 6 speed auto in XR6 and/or Typhoon becasue I am so sick of the existing Auto and its problems even though I had the car only for 4 months and made no mods yet. If they bring out the 6 speed auto today, I would trade my XR6T in whatever the loss is and get the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been plenty of news about the six-speed and I don't think anyone could believe it isn't going to happen so I took you post as being a bit of a stir and nothing else.Also, the authenticity of any supposed document published here is questionable. No date on the email either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
