RE: Cen GST 7.7 or MGT 8.0
I'm still a CEN skeptic.. I've heard enough about their truggy to believe it's worth buying, but I'm still skeptical about the GST...
I've never heard of anybody having long-term success with a CEN MT.. A lot new owners rave about how great they are - and "tough", which, being so huge and heavy, I find hard to believe.. What do you mean by "tough"? That it doesn't break after rolling over a few times?? Or that it doesn't break after repeatedly launching it off a ramp - with all that bad landings, cartwheels, etc?? I mean, who has had multiple gallons through their GST without problems?? I admit I don't know first hand, but the rep of the older CEN MT's was SSSSSSOOOOOOO bad that the GST would have to be REALLY REALLY REALLY fantastic to make up for it... I'm not saying it isn't. Just that there's still a question mark over the GST.. There was a lot of hype when it first came out, but that seems to have really died down in the last 6-8 months or so.....
The GST is defo a great looking truck the burly size of which does have a certain appeal, and which may well be all that tough and reliable..., but for real bashing my money would defo be on the MGT...
