Final FPV sparks kilowatt controversy (GT-F vs GTS)

[hootar]

Your so called press cars are going to be auctioned off after the press are finished with them. In this day and age a fair percentage of owners dyno test their cars. It's not a big hassle to do that now. If ford have upped the press cars power and then other people dyno test and find that they are all 30+ kW short of the 001 and 014 numbers then ford would have a lot explaining to do. I'm going to assume that your next response would be to say well ford could detune the engine before selling them. If that happened and the new owners of 001 and 014 did a dyno test and they had lost heaps of power then ford would be in the **** again.

If we look at history Ford tend to under quote power figures. People like to hear big numbers, bigger is better. Hsv say 430 kW and dyno says 330. Ford say 351 kW dyno says some where between 311 and 348. Now tell me who do you think is playing with figures to impress mr ave joe blow?

Spend some time on YouTube or googling and you will find that what the 335 Miami is making is very consistent quality power. There will always be a couple of roughies in there but the vast majority are on the money. What Ford are saying is that the 351 Miami will on average make a small percentage more power. (16 kW approx). Ford have every right to defend that claim against wheels and vcm. I guess you would too if someone called you a liar!
