Ford Grunt Member 159 Member For: 22y 2m 20d Location: Newcastle Posted 05/01/04 02:37 AM Share Posted 05/01/04 02:37 AM It wont happen while ever the GT/GT-P sit at 290kws. They wouldn't release it until they lift the bar on the FPV's hero car the GT/GT-P to comfortably in excess of 300kws. To FPV/Ford it doesn't make good marketing sense to do otherwise.

I couldn't agree with more but believe the BOSS 290 is at its limit without of coarse going the supercharger route?

At several stages, this T blew it competition to the weeds. (including porsche etc)The "Motor" article made for tremendous reading and I reckon that this years Targa is going to open a few eyes for T devotees.I cant wait..........
