I crossed brands for the FG T and the bonus came with the S/C Miami. They finally seem to get it right, now this.

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 01/06/12 09:09 PM Share Posted 01/06/12 09:09 PM (edited) Everything old is new again... Fark I feel like an old carnt. But this is not the first time Ford have done this.Would think they needed another three years run with the slow sales rate of the V8 to make close to cost on it.Maybe that's it. They were hoping the s/c would kick sales up so well that it would pull the rest of the line up along with it. And failed cause the I6T is still king ha ha.And now it has a new contender. E46 M3's are down to $40KA thirteen to twenty five K HPH kits on one and 582 to 800 hp is on tap. In something that already has everything. And weighs under 1500kg. Go fast parts lists that take days to read......think I have found my new car. Edited 01/06/12 09:10 PM by XR09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
