I'd love to see Ford do an R-Spec Ranger and Everest with Explorer's 3.0 TT V6 Ecoboost.
This latest project from Ford gives me hope that Ford is listening to HP buyers. |

Mr Herrod explained that upping outputs of the Mustang’s ‘Coyote’ 5.0-litre V8 by around 179kW and 258Nm using a supercharger required no changes to the engine internals due to its sophisticated quad-cam design. “It’s a high-compression engine but with the quad cams we can actually bleed off compression through valve timing,” he said. “You don’t have to put lower compression pistons in to supercharge the engine and for it to live, you can actually bleed the compression through the inlet and exhaust valves. It’s very complex.” Mr Herrod said the electronic engine re-calibration to achieve this “comes from Ford’s end”. Quote:

aced the Coyote with tis design and using the VCT to vary the dynamic compression, almost like a Miller cycle. Here's a cool youtube of Ford workers building the 2020 GT500 Predator |

He is just stating that Ford did the calibration. Some aftermarket tuning devices also have the ability to alter the VCT tables.

I doubt the ten speed in the Mustang is the exact same box that's behind a powerstroke f-series.

Dick Johnson driving an R-Spec in a track demonstration at Bathurst over this weekend, same colour and all as above photos. He is no longer complaining about lack of grunt, as in the previous Mustang he raced in the 1980s!
Cheers.

Car developed in Australia? 40k in the states, looks more like marketing...

$48,000 US = $72,000 AU add 10 % GST and that is about $80,000 add 33 % luxury sales tax makes it about $88,000. Add shipping and other costs and you have over $90,000. Now your little internet grab doesn’t look so good does it ? And that vehicle is exactly the same as this RSPEC vehicle including wheels suspension and everything else ? Do some more research next time 👎 |

Not trolling just don't like being lied to, saying it's a locally developed is obviously all marketing bs. No need to shoot the messenger. No wonder this forum is dead

It's not all marketing BS, the kits at they stood would not pass our ADRs and had to be reworked and complianced locally, that's why the first Roush kits were'nt covered by Facory warranty or ADR compliant straight up. On pricing, Seriously, just look at the current exchange rate, our $65K GT premium in RHD is immediately USD $44K The S/C Kit from Rousch retails in the US for $7,699 -AUS $11,322 and we're up to $77K without wheels tyres, suspension and Harrop exhaust....is that worth another $20K including GST/LCT? Maybe not but, you have two choices buy this with factory warranty or buy the kits and DIY, good luck with the second option if anything in your new car goes ding.... People are obviously going to pay Ford's price because they don't want their cars modified by just anyone and possibly voiding any Factory warranty. What you saw in that link was a dealer selling a base $36K Mustang with a near $8K S/C kit thrown on for $40K, obviously he's going backwards on that deal as intending to sell lots more options on top to improve margins because that's how US dealer advertising works (bait and switch).

For $100k I think it's fantastic value. My only gripe is that I believe Ford should have offered the PP2 wheels with the Cup 2 tyres as an option, along with the huge Brembo brakes from the GT350. As a standard, factory package, I'm really excited by it.

Any way, I just thought the link may have been of interest to some on the forum. I personally think the price is quite reasonable for a new car in Australia that has that performance.

Had Ford been on it's game, ther would have been a transition from Miami powered FGX
to Aussie Miami engines being sent to the US to be installed on the production line. Anyone thinking, "Huh, why would you do that?" Answer is: way cheaper than Ford US can supply... They really, really need Ford to go do the right think and sign off on PP2 approval, that thing is gonna blaze the tyres without the better rims and rubber.... |

I reckon they have kept the stock size tyres due to drive by noise. Getting the R spec noise compliant was a major job, and fitting wider tyres would have resulted in extra road noise. In my opinion anyway.

Returning from Bathurst , i seen these doing the laps with Dick J driving i believe, I was surprised to hear that the GT had a much better exhaust note than the R spec Car.
talking to Sales guy it was in the vicinity of $110 -114 including on roads costs |

The R-Spec has a Herrod Exhaust but it also has the SAM function. What's the bet that most are already pre-sold..... |

My tuner got hold of a 2019 10 speed auto and threw on a roush blower kit. Dont have much details except it still has stock exhaust. 500rwkw. SO these cars have a lot of potential..
