Default talk with the ford engineers - transcript

It reads far more like marketing than ford engineers....

I like the pointy question from laminge about the edit and the response, "why would anyone want to enhance the performance?"

Sounds like a bunch of marketing folk reading from promotional documents. Engineers my ***... Love the sidestep of the driveline shunt issue question.

Why not? It's a performance car, isn't that kinda the point?

"Ford Engineers The BA Falcon has performed fantastically, winning the last two championships and after the Surfers Paradise round being first, second and third in the championship. We can't confirm whether any BF changes will appear on the V8 supercars of the future."

I can't understand that, your doing well in the championship at the moment so your not going to update it? either that or they don't actually know which they should jsut say.

I don't think there is anything from BF but the tail lights that can be fitted to the race car.

They are trying to get a new look for the aero package to make BF different but the Project Blueprint people are being pricks about it and seemingly won't let them do it.

FPV (or any car manufacturer in Australia) are under agreement with the Government NOT to advertise performance figures so by law they cant.

What is the deal with that?

Answers given to questions that we know the answers too.
Otherwise its "Ford Engineers We can't confirm any of our model plans for the future."

At least they (ie Ford) are giving it a go.
