These a9x toranas had ported heads, roller rockers, better valve springs, panard rods etc etc.Get this though Ford wasn't allowed to use rollers or panard rods for about 2-3 years later with group c rules.This is only a few things I have mention and there is heaps more.Those people that put Ford Quality down need to pull their head out of there & do some research into things before they make remarks about things they don't know anything about.Mr Tom Gorman is right on the button with his words, the sad thing about it is that there is so many people out there that have been disalusioned by gmh's ways of dealing which has happened a lot and not just with this new wave of they are rebadging and calling Ferrari, Porsche, Lambo beaters.Remember the so called 427 monaro that was suppose to be available to the market and was allowed to run as a production car in the 12hr race that it dominated.Now everyone things that there monaro can beat these exoctics Wheels car of the year with its 2 major recalls already (Seat belts that pull out, and fuel pump fire's)Has anyone noticed how many vt onwards are missing there fuel covers, does anyone know why they are missing, is it that they just fall off or are they broken off due to inoperative latch?Man if they can't even get a fuel cover right what chance is there that the rest of the car is any better.So if you think your Ford is as bad as gmh product well sell it and go buy one of there I feel for you if you do.
