Performance deviations Futura over years?

[Henkies]

Hi,

Is there any noticable difference in performance of the Zodiac futura (MK2/MK3) throughout the years? And also between models, like Sport and GT?

I saw the speedtubes have been changed once.
And the '06 onwards has bigger tubes to deal with the 4t engines, hence bigger speedstubes as well.

But I don't have a cleu wether it's worth taking this is mind during purchase of a second hand one...

Thanks!

2004 was when it switched to big tubes.

Speed tubes were also moved farther out.

Oldest models had permanently attached speed tubes.

Futura Sport has oversized speed tubes and a reinforced floor.

OK thanks. And does anyone know if thes were rather marketing features than improvements?

All were performance improvements and responses to customer/dealer feedback.
