From what I've read about them and seen in period road tests, the '72-'73 T's received favorable reviews at the time, and they were not much slower than E's or even the vaunted S.
If I recall correctly, they finally ditched the carbs, added MFI and a balanced CW crank (also a 200cc displacement bump, etc.).
Man, to have a time machine and go back 10 years when these were $15 to $20k cars!!

Funny you'd say that about the speeds of the '72T. The previous owner to my '72T did some minor racing back in the late '70's/early 80's and he said that it had the fastest time at the PCA meet in Portland, Oregon. It has a stock engine but optional gearing in the 915, and 7R's on the rear. Still, seemed odd to me that it could have had the fastest time. He did not say what kind of race it was though.
