I wonder if an FPV terry arrives, if it will be auto only? One would think so. And AWD LOL!

You cant get a manual in a standard terri yet anyway....However if FPV are doing the turbo terris we may well see the typhoon version of the turbo 6 in there and not the standard T motor, which might mean manual if we are lucky

Falchoon I see red Member 5,758 Member For: 23y 9m 9d Location: nowhere in particular Posted 19/07/05 08:49 AM Posted 19/07/05 08:49 AM GTs go to FPV to get the bumpers, wheels and other stuff fitted. I doubt Ford are going to go to all trouble of building a GT just to have FPV pull it apart again and stuff the running gear into a Territory, especially when FPV already have all the parts lying around anyway. The V8 won't fit in the Territory, the CAPA version used a modified Falcon fron't end.A turbo 6 version of a Territory has been rumoured for some time, but not yet officially confirmed or denied. If it eventuates it will be interesting to see if it is Ford or FPV badged and what power output the motor will have.
