Coo, thanks for backin me up deth. It was in fact the M12 GTO -- not the GTO-3 or 3R -- that I was asking about, and that variant is the only one with a 2.5 (wouldn't have been a tricky question without that little bit of info hehe). Very astute of you to notice the change all the same Tumbler!
Should I keep going with these quiz things?
