probably cost, contrary to what people may think the MT-82 is way older than people think, Fords been using it outside the US since 2004. so its cheaper to keep using whats already been done and paid for R&D wise. as for why they keep using Tremec for higher specs, probably to maintain that...

Ford did have the FPV based on the Falcon...just sayin...2 birds one stone...V8 ute and a V8 sedan...

with how long youre going to have the tires, especially since youve got two sets, id say bite the bullet now and just spend the extra cash for peace of mind

had the 555G2s for the past couple years, they really good bang for budget tires. but if you can afford the cost, id say go with the Conti's. thats what im looking at doing later this year

Love and wouldn't change: the front fenders The wheels- though depending on what the next year or two looks like, i may consider a second set for dedicated track tires RTR grille and side rockers The Whipple The Dash camera love and may or may not change: Tires- the Nittos have done well over...
