Ford's press department ignored the car under instructions from above, but thanks to racing driver John Goss, Wheels tested the car and discovered it was capable of 15.2sec over 400 metres.
A nice read :

Funny how they think RPO83 were all Hardtops!

Actually there were more sedan RPO83's than hardtops

130 sedans vs 120 hardtops
