Titan Ford does it in WA

Awfully tempting

Shame the Raptor wasn't launched with this as an option package you could tick the box on when it went on sale initially.

Reminds me of the partnership between Ford and tuning company Mountune, you could order the WZ Fiesta ST with their tuning package which was an air box, filter and tune from the dealership and the car was covered under the factory warranty.

Good to see that Ford Australia is open to these partnerships,

Only took FoA near on 10 years to release it here. Available in many other countries for many years.

Then the sales team had no idea about it, pretty sad when your customers know more than the sales team

They (FoA/MT) blamed emissions from my vague memory.
Also MT stuff was way overpriced next to other brands (both had no warranty back then) so may aswell have picked the other cheaper/better performing brands, which i did.

Old man optioned it up on the Fiesta ST from the dealership, it was covered under Ford Australia's manufacturer warranty, from memory it was $2500 or there abouts for the tune, lower airbox and K&N air filter.

It ran for the WZ Fiesta ST but discontinued on the new WG Fiesta ST, shame that Ford Australia discontinued the relationship there, they've always been hesitant to jump in with tuners who specialise in their cars but the US and Ford Europe/UK have these partnerships.

You're not wrong if you don't have the option of the factory warranty and ordering it on the spec sheet from the dealership than why pay the premium when other companies offer the same thing at significantly less price.

Was it Harrop who FPV contracted to do the Miami V8 development? I'm surprised there's no partnership for go fast stuff on the Mustang.

I wonder much they had to dial it back to make them comfortable with covering it with the factory warranty.

I’ve heard you can get a lot out of these motors. Although, nearly 800nm at the hubs is incredible

Surprised nothing like this was offered for the old Raptor ... arguably the car that needs it.

Page doesn't exist - I don't mean a one-off, I mean continual that you can option up on any Mustang you buy new.

Was the r-spec limited edition or something that ran for the Mustang's entire model run?

From memory limited edition.

Anyone had the Herrod Raptor upgrade done? How's it going? Any issues and if so did it get fixed? I'm considering getting it done. Cheers.
