CSP Member 89 Member For: 17y 7m Posted 13/06/14 12:19 AM Share Posted 13/06/14 12:19 AM oh and for those that are assuming no work has gone into this.... really???Take your blinkers off! You have no idea how hard passionate people who love this car and brand within Ford had to fight to get this car to the end of the line and to achieve what they did with next to no $$$More power, 351kw regardless of conditions, 400+ (650+ Nm) in reality above 4K rpm (transient overboost) except when in 1st, recalibrated ECU and Trans, recalibrated Bosch ver 9 TC with launch control, Rspec rear now with camber adjustment, and all the other things inside the cabin and the new sticker theme. 0-100 in 4.5 to 4.6, low to mid 12s qtr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still have a GT-F. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford would have a much easier time becoming a sole importer with some good pr in their booksIt needed to be tweaked far more in certain areas. And not like the public weren't willing to pay for it They could have gotten away with charging 100k for these things 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
