I love Tuscans but personally I wouldn't swap the Griff for one unless it was one of the newer Tuscan II's.

Griffs rock.

I would be dubious after spending that money in a short time to see very little of it back at resale time.
I am sure the tuscans are two cylinders short and the ticking timebomb speed 6 does nothing to inspire convidence in them but thats my opinion and no doubt some on here will say different.

Thought about part ex'ing my chim, but have to agree with lazyitus, would have to be the tuscan 2. The tuscan 1 engine would worry me too much. Still tempting though!!

Ditto.

I did have a spin in a saggy and to be honest, i was a bit underwhelmed by the performance. Yes a i know they're faster, handle better etc etc, but it doesnt have the low end torque of a v8 and a properly sorted Griff chassis and suspension setup is easily a match for a factory setup T car.
Tuscan II convertable for me when i can afford one tho.
