There isn't a great deal of difference - Apart from the condition obviously and the slightly higher power if using Optimax, the differences are mainly small or cosmetic items such as the SS2 has auto-airconditioning rather than standard and the box looks nicer as there is no blue/red on the dial! Small thing I know but they look a lot better IMO. They don't have those ugly headlight washer jets, which probably don't do much and look awful, again IMO. I have to be careful here, lots of GT owners about!! The electric folding mirrors are a god-send, one of the first times I forgot to use them my mirror got bent backwards by some toe-rag. You just have a chance of finding a higher spec car as there are more options available, especially on the later models. May find one with the projector headlamps, roof spoiler, late spec lights etc Some things it might not have - sunroof was an option as were airbags and no cruise control. Try and remember some more for ya but my brain's frazzled from too much wine lol cool cheers buddy. I have 3k and i want Black A/c Cruise control (im confused, do some come with it or what?!!) thats it, im easy. Not overly fused about the power as its mostly likely a stop gap to a 205. Has anyone got some nice high res images of GTs? Internet sucks for pictures of definite UK models in high res!! Thanks Chris
