After all it couldn't have more herbs than the flagship GT and GTP. As we know from the XR6T and XR8 the FPVT will be quicker than the GT providing the GT doesn't get a kick in the arse aswell!

It would be particularly interesting if they upgraded the transmission as it'd be able to handle more oooooomph....

Ford warranty is not worth a crumpet in my experience. I'm still not receiving any satisfaction for a truck gearbox that they fitted to my T3. I bought a car and expected a car gearbox - silly ol' me!!I would also buy the standard T and do an APS Phase I upgrade and put the money I saved towards any "warranty" repairs that Ford won't honour.

mickq Member 740 Member For: 22y 2m 24d Posted 29/01/04 12:04 PM Share Posted 29/01/04 12:04 PM Bit silly of the article, in my opinion, to say that the manual box will limt the power so 270-280kw is expected. Id be very surprised if FPV would use the standard XR6T manual box. Unfortunately, given the silly "V8's rule" attitude of most Aussies, I think they are quite possibly right when they say it will be below 290kw so it doesnt threaten the GT and GT-P.BUT, I also wouldnt be too surprised if they release an XR6T with more power than the GT, and also a new V8 with even more power again.

Power wholy doesn't sell cars look at the ss to the clubby? it wouldn't be that bad with some good mags,better body kit and some other acc. turbo6man what happened to your box ? cuse I got one of the them. Aren't they also in the Ba xr8? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8761-fpv-xr6-turbo-melbourne-motor-show/page/2/#findComment-87445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
