Has Anyone Heard About The New Rebate/cashback?

not if it is an NA

Oh, and there are no rebates to customers, ford give the dealers "Factory Bonuses" so we can make the cars cheaper...

The BA MKII Turbo's and XR8s had a 6 speed, where as the BA XR6 MKII's had the 5. BF XR6 was the first to have a 6-speed.

I've driven both, and I have to say that the 5 speed is one of the smoothest gearboxes I've driven. The 6 speed was clunky and sucked ass.

Besides, there's no point having a 6 speed in an NA XR6. It's a waste of a gear and would probably chew more juice at such low revs on the hwy than a 5 speed.

Perhaps it is smooth as long as you don't need to change gears or use the throttle in anything than on or off position. Or maybe the gearbox is great and just the rest of the driveline that totally sucks.... Heck, maybe you got the lucky perfect one.

I've been driving T5s for > 10 years, and the only thing I've got to say is that I've learnt to drive around the diff clunks, long throws and other crap.
