Venom XR6, Full production has started all ready as cars will be goin on sale in less than 1 month. A close relative of mine is high up at ford.

So yesterday we still built Copperhead engines to go into sedans and a short run of Orion engines because we want to build old engines that can't be used. Why don't you listen to people who have a clue and not someones uncles cousins boyfriends next door neighbour. FG's are coming through slowly and will gradually build up until the last BF sedan is built and then it will be in full production. Most BF cars have already been finished, last turbos were built a few weeks ago, only base models are still in production and will be finished by next week.

FG's have started production, but they are sharing the line with BF sedans, so not in full production yet, there's a difference.

I agree with you adam. Lets see the car on the road before ordering one.

As for production of BF's I was under the impression they stoped buyin them end January. I wanted to order one mid Jan and they wernt taking orders any more. Just stock that was built? I Will now be waiting for an FG. I can tell you now BF's are not being built now nor have for the last month atleast.

Most models have been built out over the last few weeks, all turbo models have been completed as have 6 speed auto NA engines. Only the base 190 4 speed auto and E Gas engines are still in build, probably finished on Monday or Tuesday, and then full production of Orion starts.

Prob best not to discuss ford's production schedule over the net... I know two people, not Ford employees, that have got in ship for discussing that sort of thing.

Common misconception that the "HO" stood for "High Output", actually stood for "Handling Option"

Really? Well I stand corrected then :spoton:

I think morally we're both right. This is from Wikipedia..........

"The "HO" portion of the name stood for (High Output) However insurance companies refused to insure vehicles under this badge with that abbreviation. To make insurance companies happy the meaning of HO was changed to "Handling Option" which meant these specials had stiffer roll bars and springs."

End of thread hijack!!
