I went 1200 cause thats the most I'd pay. I think getting charged for a six speed is a ripoff. When we had four speed auto's and 5 speed manuals, the auto was the more expensive tranny. Now we add an extra gear to each and the manual becomes more expensive. Sucks.
I agree with mp67. after all these years that the t-56 has been out, being charged extra would be a slap in the face. But development on a new IRS for the rear, not just one stolen from the jag/lincoln would cost something. So i chose 1200 as well.
if ford does offer a 6speed, i'd probably pay the same as i would for an auto. i doubt ford has an extra couple thousand t56's laying around, unlike their 3650's, so of course they'll charge more.
$1200 for both IRS and a 6speed sounds fair. maybe toss in a couple extras like racing/side stripes, interior bits and pieces, or something as some sort of package?
The t-56 has been available for over ten years and should cost significanlty less that a 5 speed auto. The IRS has been on the LS/Jag for how long now?
