yeah I agree... maybe a Ford sample car and will get amended once production models are out.... maybe just a marketing ploy... maybe they will come with that power... wait and see I guess...

I was hoping we would see an improvement in the rear end. Surely their is a diff/driveline without the wide open tollerances ours have, that can at least handle a little power without the CLUNK. @ a price that won't upset the bean counters.

How is the dif/drivelline set up we have now going to take the huge, and instantaneous power an S/C V8 can make ???

And where is the new front control arm FPV was making....about a year ago......dontknow.gif

There ... that's my whinge and I feel better now.

Oh and ps for those meant to know..... when will the dealers have the up-date for the TC/DSC ?????? pweeeeze

They would be crazy to release them with less power than the press cars.

However come service time whats to stop a flash of the computer to down rate them to save on potential warranty items.

If the difference really is just 1x ECU flash away then a workshop with a GT tune should be making a mint on GS's. Would take no time at all and safe. How would warranty claims go as well? I thought the way for Ford telling its a tuned car was a larger than normal flashes log in the ECU? With no "tuning" involved there wont be a high number of reflashes.

They could read the flash and see if it's what it written in their logs (GS/GT and version number)?
