Just admitting the engine power output reality, instead of the "official" figures.

So Rob Herrod weighed in about his thoughts on the GTF on Facebook...

They claimed the standard GT had 375kw with overboost feature. Mine must have been stuck on then.lol

404 kw would make sense for 351 GT with over boost that must be stuck on as well..

I think overboost stays on until temps get too high.

I wonder if the overboost on the T's follows the same and isn't counted in the "official" figures

I think Rob wasn't so much having a go at the GTF for what it IS, but more so what it's TRYING to be. I'd say he's disappointed in the use of the 351 badge to try link it to the GT's of the old days. I was actually watching a clip on YouTube the other day from top gear Australia (I know, I couldn't believe I was watching it either) where old mate tested a Phase 3 GTHO. He made a point that at the time you could have pretty much walked into a showroom and purchased one then drive it to Bathurst, drive it in the race and potentially win (debate about driving skill aside). I think that was what was so special about the cars back then, they were essentially race cars for the road. You could own a car very similar to that of your idols race car, and they were faster than pretty much anything else on the road at the time. I'd say that's what the 351 badge represents to many people, so having that badge on this final GT isn't really the same thing.

Whatever Ford are trying to achieve they are not good value for money. Apart FTP the fact they may become collector items.

So BF F6 "R Spec" got a sticker, mats and a set of dampners.

What does this thing get.
