XtRmn8 570Nm @1800rpm Donating Members 2,441 Member For: 21y 7m 26d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 16/08/05 03:38 PM Share Posted 16/08/05 03:38 PM The Turbo will go up to 245kw and 480Nm, which is a nice jump in torque! The close ratio 6 speed auto will be a $1500-$1800 option for the T.

raptorthumper Member 12 Member For: 20y 8m 7d Posted 16/08/05 10:55 PM Share Posted 16/08/05 10:55 PM I'm very pleased to say the least that the 6 speed auto's made it in to most models. There's one more item of information that I am keen to find out and that is the final drive ratio, used on the auto's. I hope Ford don't use too higher gearing (low numerical value) in the bloody stupid quest for fuel economy only. I like performance and that means low gearing. 1st Gear in the ZF is about 4.12:1, but if Ford opt for something silly, like a 2.5:1 final drive then all the performance benefits of the close ratio 6 speed auto are lost.Ahh well, I suppose, it will be pretty easy to swap to a lower diff gearset from the manual models, if they have.

bugster70 Donating Members 1,326 Member For: 20y 15d Location: Canberra Posted 17/08/05 01:11 AM Share Posted 17/08/05 01:11 AM Anyone seen pics of the new BF from the rear? What do these new tail lamps look like? Without knowing much about it, it does sound (at this stage) like the changes are fairly minor?
