Well the GT's i have been in including (284rwkw 13.3 @112 with bolt on's) remembering the Windsor was at the end of it's life span while the boss is detuned and still stronger.
BA GT's go and handle plenty well for my liking, this is a road car not track, dyno numbers prove an engine to more powerfull than another regardless of track times, it shows the 290 Boss is a step forward, if the TE stroker was better why didn't Ford drop it in the BA ?

Well if it's an investment, go and buy a couple so you can live off the resale when you retire. :yeees:

Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder, but my main reasons to go the GT is the AU styling is not my cup of tea, and secondly The name GT has no equal in the history of Falcons.

# Edit, sorry for sidetracking this thread, Steffo went fishing and i bit, i'll shut up now.
