But been wondering if you were going to keep using mecturbo or we would see your name change to something else . Maybe we could have a tongue and cheek poll should Mercturbo change his name, Could be fun as for Hypnodoc the stirrer just remind him we would all like to have GT`s but bang for buck the XR6T is still a good car and has done a lot of good for fords image after the failure of GT`s over the past years. P.s MIne is a Sep 03 and no brake shudder and I`m still loving it.regardsStang :lol: Hi Stang. Nothing wrong with the Turbo at all. As far as bang for buck goes I think they are better value than the GT, I already ordered a Typhoon, when I had my T I either got a bad car or bad mechanics trying to get it to boogie. The only think I don't particularly like about the car is the speed limiter. Like the GT, FPV have set it much higer in the F6 255kph. Just to clarify things. I LOVE THE T. :banghead: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercturbo Member 696 Member For: 21y 10m 22d Location: Geelong Posted 01/05/04 10:13 AM Share Posted 01/05/04 10:13 AM Like Rick and everyone say, the xr6t is awsome we all know this, I loved it, had a fantastic run, very few minor issues, exceptional bang for buck value, especially modded a bit, spend $10k on APS 2/3 and trick up the brakes and tranny a bit and you destroy GT'S, CLUBBIES, put SS'S in the toilet. I love xr6t and the whole concept well done Ford. As for the username, well, just a tad lazy. I love both cars so it can stay MercT. Some of us just want to try a big roaring GT V8, its hard to explain, just love em both for what they are, its all good. Anyway Cheers Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Turbo had have cost me moree than 50k I wouldnt have bought. Even though I love it.regardsStang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I love it.regardsStang Its all perceived value for money Stang, main thing is that your happy with your car.I put a Manta centre muffler, SS Big Mouth, 80mm T/Body and 80mm Helix plate on the car during the last week, got some boogie now Pppppphhhhhhhwwwwww.Took it down a very long deserted country backroad this afternoon and I now know the speed limiter starts surging the GT at a smidgin under 260 on the speedo reading. The awesome thing is how fast it gets there from 130 onwards. Heading to Melbourne on Sunday morning and looking forward to the drive the car is reading 11.5 per 100 klm on a 100 klm test with cruise set at 110kph, so it will be interesting to see what the average for the trip comes out to. A good run to Vic should settle the engine in very nicely, the car has 7300klm on the clock at present. Looking forward to meeting the Victorian T and GT owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
