I had no idea what it was ~ I thought it was a lego block thing. :biggrin A FCA guy told me whatever it was, it was going to be expensive, but if it didn't work out, I could spin it off later and sell it for big $$. A GM guy told me that whatever it was, cost was not a concern and I would make it up in volume.
Also heard that Ford will be giving away milk chocolate versions of this item at the NAIAS black tie. Future collectible?

Good work Bill, as always your facts are very detailed. I have that video too (didn't dig it out, used my memory,... not very accurate). And here is a useless fact, I was the 1st outside of Ford to see it. That was on his lap top, on top of a trash can at rally one, outside the opening cocktail party. He was nice enough to jump my car, as I had left it on "accessory" after winching it into the trailer....

Bill is that video proprietary or something that can be shared? I would be very interested in seeing it.
They could debut a clean sheet FR Product
( A Hybrid EcoBoost Flatplane V8 should be good for 800-900hp. ) which depending on the response may later be homologated for GT Series racing.

Unbelted occupant. Relates to unbelted occupant breaking neck on forward edge of headliner. Absolute height doesn't matter.

Yea, I got one...too
Rex, I certainly ment no disrespect to your thoughts on fuel consumption. I VERY much appreciate the technical content you share with us on the Forum! And we can trade drinks at the next get together!:thumbsup
I would love to have a few of these chocolate versions if you go! Sounds like a very clever promotion.
Gary and 33Bravo I am not sure of availability. I will check and see. As Andy points out he saw the same video at R1 and I think I saw it at R2. Always interesting stuff on the inside challenges the engineers had bringing our car to market. One of the perks we owners have by actually getting to meet and talk to the FGT Team members who worked on developing our cars at DBK’s rally’s.

Target 200 vid is in there too, but that doesn't have the full unedited vMax footage.

Thanks Dave. Gary and 33Bravo the Vmax video Dave posted certainly has a lot more background information on the actual run(s). I just have the raw video which has marginal interest to most.
And I agree with Rocketman, gee Mark and Dennis do look young! Our ownership community is exceedingly lucky to have their active participation (along with Rich as well) in our Forum group. The backchannel stories these individuals have as well as many of the FGT Program guest speakers we have heard at the various rallys are very interesting!
