The LS cars the same , about level in performance but way more tunable and looked better, cheaper as well.

I've spoken to a ford workshop who had a T3 in there and they said they were very disappointed with its performance. No upside to it's oerfoemance. Said the Barra turbo and boss engines were a way better base to work from. Neither a T3 nor Barra turbo / boss are particularly explosive stock.

Yes I sold by blown fgx. Boring car to drive even with over 400rwkw, I've owned stock and modded Barra turbos as well. I was bored also. I'm hard to please, what can I say. you can understand why I see a T3 and say "meh".

For the price of a used T3 these days, Go drive a used Merc C63 for the same money, you won't remember what a T3 is, it won't know which way you went.

Used C63 sound better, go way harder, handle better, kill you every which way. But somehow people pay the same money for the T3?

A BA xr8/ba xr6t for a quarter of the money today is a way better car for the money.

Your way off on a tangent.

Google C63 engine issues and rebuilds and see how well you fair owning a used euro in Australia.

You cant compare the cars unless you work for WHEELS or MOTOR magazine?
