BA GT Mk 1 VS Mk 2

Hi everyone,

What is your opinion on the new Mk 2 GT's? What are they like to drive compared to the Mk 1? Is the 6 speed much better than the 5 speed?

Cheers, FordGT19

Re: BA GT Mk 1 VS Mk 2

I haven't driven a Mk2 yet, but if you want a manual I would imagine the diferrence between the previous model would be worth the stretch. If you want an auto then there's not much in it really. I do love idea of finally getting some gauges, climate control and premium sound as standard, but I would have liked leather as a no cost option as well. The stripe package is an improvement IMO for Mk2.

I haven't driven a new 6 speed yet but from the reports of others yes it's far better than the MK1 also i like the stripe package on the MK2 especially the GT-P now is a wicked looking vechile.The guages nice but they need some work in my opinion.

how do you mean, the only mechanical differences is the Gearbox in the mark2, the suspention package is the same, same differential, same motor...

Please explaine as i am rather interested.

I was led to believe that the main difference is the Wheels which look awesome , guages on dash, stripes and 6 speed

i dont have a GTP so the rims are the same,the suspention in the MK11 has been stiffend and XR8 got the old GT suspention thats what i was told,but this GT drives better and smoother stears in and out of corners better at speed but ride is harder.
