There is NO FISCAL REALITY to justify creating such a beast. It's not the 1970s anymore. A Phase 3 was what $5500? These days a GTHO would have to top 120k, too much risk for too little profit A common sense look at Fords retraction from V8 Supercars indicates how much they are NOT prepared to invest in go fast cars any more. We were bloody lucky to see the 335, throw 10k at one of them and you will get a beast a least as good as what FPV could produce to call a GTHO. There is no desire or emotion in the mathematical reality of a balance sheet. Edited 01/05/11 09:19 AM by hypnodoc

I guess a modded 335 will be as good as it gets then mate; because there is no way Ford are going to invest money in a limited run HO Edited 01/05/11 02:57 PM by hypnodoc
CSP Member 89 Member For: 19y 5m 5d Posted 02/05/11 03:29 AM Posted 02/05/11 03:29 AM what if they already have invested in 'something' that is beyond what is currently on offer? I think all the evidence is there for all to see, don't need my insider knowledge to spell it out surely? It just won't be regarded as a HO, but it's not what's on offer now that's for sure.
