CSP Member 89 Member For: 18y 28d Posted 01/05/11 07:47 AM Share Posted 01/05/11 07:47 AM no way it will be advertised anywhere near 400kw, good chance it won't even be called a HO, what will be impressive is the TrQ!

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.

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 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74504-new-gt-ho/#findComment-1101904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSP Member 89 Member For: 18y 28d Posted 02/05/11 03:29 AM Share 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.
