FG speedos and odometers seem very accurate, and the bowser doesn't lie.
Apart from the 5.4 Gt engines, FPV made all the 5.4 XR8s from the BA to FG (its even the prefix in the engine #), and I agree 100% with your observation about Jurnos getting new 'Green" (tight) engines, and the tight tolerances. They take over 5000klms to free-up and start show their potential - and even then require a degree of finesse in extracting the best performance. Too much go pedal too soon and they die in the Ar**, get it right and they fly.

Hey,
I've still got to get my bum into gear and rub the test gear out of my shot
I've been told this week a basic version of the GTF screen is a goer

But the dash is over all the same still working on that area

Hey,

I'll have to say I don't know sorry but will find out tomorrow if it don't go up on Facebook early like ford said it would do

Sadly this car eluded me due to track works and the fact most of the development was done in gt-p mules

Kinda strange to have front parking sensors on the XT? Unless they're going to have it across the range
