Default Prodrive Performance Falcons - Who would be interested?

The other thread about whether or not FPV and HSV are aftermaket modifiers - and the subsequent discussions that arose from that thread really got me thinking. Since Walkinshaw Performance basically go head to head with the aftermarket world, and seem to be doing quite well, why can't Prodrive do the same with Ford/FPVs?

More to the point, would you buy from them over some of our other workshops around? I guess it would be dependant on what they had to offer and the price they were charging. It appears as though theres a few selected aftermarket workshops which are Walkinshaw dealers, which means if Prodrive ever set up the same deal, they may possibly look into doing the same thing.

Yes it's all hypothetical as theres not indiction yet that I have seen, to indicate anything ike this happening. But IMO I reckon it would be a success if they read the market properly and carefully selected their products and marketed them correctly. DJR tried the same deal a few years ago, but unfortunately didn't pull it off. I still think that there is a market though, and just personally I like the idea of my pride and joy being looked after by the company that has a majority stake in Fords official performance arm.
