Ain't nothin' special about that.Tell'em thy're dreamin'!

They'd rather spend money sponsoring the golf, or running a few adverts where they don't even mention the name of the car they're advertising.

Mist Member 54 Member For: 18y 9m 23d Posted 30/09/08 05:58 AM Share Posted 30/09/08 05:58 AM At a guess the cost of supercharging the Boss with reliable hardware, testing it, readying for production and getting it passed through all the various regulations is much more than the extra money they would make from selling 200 GT's at 90k (which is about 3-4 million?).If they are going to supercharge the GT then I imagine they will do a GTHO, possibly higher volume and certainly more than 90k cost.Could be wrong though!

The motor and driveline development has already been done, ie GT40. Most of the other components are already in the existing car, better swaybars and spring rates are hardly costly either.As for the F6, they know they have tollerances built in for more, reliable power.It's the balls that Ford lacks.

That came into effect from July 31, so don't expect a single upgraded engine until the V6 and new 300 and 330 kw DI 5.0 V8's are released in 2010. Also all development on the straight 6 was cancelled last year. Not that they would have upped the power with a special edition anyway but through emmissions laws they can't.

Don't shoot your bolt on yet another half arsed 'special'.

dule Donating Members 1,180 Member For: 18y 23d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 30/09/08 11:20 PM Share Posted 30/09/08 11:20 PM It stands out, I just don't like that HUGE 5Anniversary sticker on the side. The writing it way to big. If I was in the market for a GT and was considering bigger brakes I'd get it, after all bigger brakes are around 5G alone if I'm not mistaken.
