Here is, SPECIFICALLY, what THEY "said":
2.3L EcoBoost FRPP Modifications: 12.56 secs
- Performance Rear Subframe Kit
- Heavy Duty Half-Shaft Kit
- Draft Shaft Safety Loops
-Prototype Off-Road Exhaust
-Ford Racing Development Engine Calibration
- Hoosier Drag Racing Slicks (Rear)
- Weld-Racing AlumaStar Drag Wheels (Rear)
- Recaro Race Seat
...and here is, at a glance, what they left out:
- Stripped Interior
- COMPLETE Exhaust-Delete ("Prototype Off-Road Exhaust", indeed!)
- Weld AlumaStar Racing Wheels - Front
- NO ROLL BAR, therefore NO added weight being compensated for...
What's the Curb weight of that car NOW?
3,400? 3,350? LESS?
And, if they left these "
minor details" out, what ELSE was added-changed-deleted? God knows...
This was
STRICTLY a P.R. piece for FRPP.
Any relationship to a production EB is
only in the minds of those 'net warriors and extreme Ford fans...and CLEARLY illustrates the absurdity of trying to pass off a "
few minor modifications" as "
worthy of consideration" and "
valid engineering data".
There is NO SAE spec for what they've done with these cars. BUYER BEWARE!
...which is a damned STUPID way to promote a NEW vehicle of such importance to the
Ford Motor Company...
