TB42 vs TD42

[the evil twin]

Put a turbo on the diesel and the 4.2 petrol is left well behind in almost all situations, especially if the boost is wound up a bit.

Fair call, I agree totally but just to keep the playing field level... spend a similar amount of $ to the "Turbo" money for the TD on the Petty option by putting reduction gears on an Auto TB42 and now the Petty is back in front in almost all situations.

I REALLY loved my TB42 GQ... 2nd best Patrol, indeed 2nd best 4X4 I've ever had. It was my first Auto and initially I couldn't drive it for sh1t but once I got my head around the Auto tranny it was a very very good 4X and my missus and daughter would have a crack at anything in it.
