Depend on pricing though. Either way I'll be keeping the T for a couple of years yet so I guess I've got plenty of time to see what unfolds.

Ford have said the price will be in the $56-59k range, and it will only be 40kg lighter than a GT. So they have managed to create another lard arse :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im waiting around for a better gearbox for the T and maybe the one in the Typoo is it. Auto gearbox that is. If I had the money, Id buy a GT and mod it.

Guest WHITEXR6T Guests Posted 09/03/04 04:12 AM Share Posted 09/03/04 04:12 AM Still un-decided. If the rumours are true, then I will seriously consider trading in the T for the Typhoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
