The power delivery of the supercharged engine is shock loading them. The problem seems to have been picked up a while back so there might not be too much of a delay. Fingers crossed.

Evil F6 Donating Members 830 Member For: 19y 3m 16d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 29/03/10 11:03 AM Share Posted 29/03/10 11:03 AM Well butter me cynical, but it'll be detuned rather than have good parts put in it. Who said anything about a 375kW version, not a snowball's chance in hell they'll release that in anything but a limited run special edition like the GTHO.Anyway what will happen to the F6, can we expect an update of this?

tpinto Donating Members 103 Member For: 16y 4m 22d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 31/03/10 01:09 PM Share Posted 31/03/10 01:09 PM There has been a lot written about the possibility of a GTHO even as far back as the EL falcon when Ford released the EL GT but to this day I believe that Ford will not ever release a car with the sacred GTHO badge stuck to its body, WHY?? 1. Ford Australia is not accustomed to prostituting its product like Expensive Daewoo do for the sake of a quick dollar.2. Ford Australia will never produce a car that will rival the performance of the GTHO PHIII in its day, so why tarnish its legend.3. Why would Ford put a GTHO badge on a FPV when FPV is mainly owned by the Poms (Prodrive)?The Phase III is the holy grail of Australian motoring history and that's proven by their million dollar plus price tag and thus the GTHO badge should rest with it. Putting a GTHO badge on a FPV would be the same as putting a GTHO badge on a supped up Ford Fiesta, its just plain wrong. But If ford was going to put a GTHO badge on a car then I think that the car would have to be something very special, maybe an AWD that will rip the quarter in 10 sec or sadly the very last couple of hundred GTs when they do away with the Falcon in place of a front wheel drive Import from abroad.
