The key word in your 1st sentance is "possibly" That's Ford-speak. Translated for the consumer, it means "not unless hell freezes over"
Hmmm...if I remember correctly, doesn't a plain-jane focus these days retail for more than $12,000. So they would lower the price AND give us 170 extra horse? lol
304hp, 107mph 1/4 mile times, and lap times 1 sec behind a Z06 for $12,000? I don't buy it. That is waaay too good of a deal.
Let's just say this: Who on this board (or corral.net or ls1.com, or...) WOULDN'T go buy a car that could run 107 mph in the quarter and only costs $12,000?!?!
This is simply too good to be true. If I know Ford then the real FR200 that makes it into production will have either:
(1) a real 304hp, yes, but it will cost $30,000
or
(2) sure, it's only $12,000 but the "production version" released to the public will only put-ter out 170hp.
To be quite honest...option (2) would still be cool. $12,000 for a car that makes 170hp and weighs less than 3000#.....not bad.
I hope I'm wrong and you are right, though. The day Ford releases a car like that for $12,000 is the day I go and buy myself a new car.
