Picture the scene, you take the wife and kids to your local Ford dealer to show them a Typhoon and they decide that I really want a TT Ghia instead! More drink holders says the kids!!!

So, with a phoon airbox mod, the bung out of the exhaust and a custom tune how fast does one of these things go?

Mid 13s maybe? Has to be faster than my slightly modded XR8 or it's no go, that runs high 13s.

I have both and prefer the TTG for daily driving.

The F6 is faster, but with Edit and bung removal, I think the TTG would easily match the F6, and take 7 people + their luggage.

It also had the DSC and TC, where the F6 only has TC.

Be happy they want a turbo and have good taste in cars.

I shopped for a Typhoon too, but with her brother owning a GT at the time she said Territory again, So I showed her a Seduce Territory Turbo and it did just that, our TTG is now known as 'The Seductress'. She couldn't stop me getting a XR5 turbo when they came out though. Although I tend to spend 90% of my time in the T so think the XR5 will be gone soon.

I have seen the Orions and think we'll be lining up for an XR or Fairmont ghia (please turbo) and keeping the TTG for ever. I did pick the TTG up 2hrs after my daughter was born so maybe it will be hers - will change the nickname by then.

Great choice in colour.

I think Seduce is the best colour for the TTG as it just looks right.

Now you need to get the bung removed and hopefully that will keep you happy.

Did the bung, just waiting out the warranty a bit and then I'll look at injectors and so on.

Nearing her first birthday now, time flies when you're having fun in a TTG.
