I think you'll find that is the way it is specced.
"XR6 became XR8 spec once engine Z was added" That will be what their system is spitting out. |

Would not worry too much, at least Ford ETIS website recognises your car for what it is.

Very confusing to the general public tho Being a 220kw it would be good if Ford would give the power rating considering they give it out for the Boss 290 motors Also curious whether Z is the code for both the 200 and 220 kw motors

Only a small thing... was there an AUII/III 6-CD stereo without cassette player? I thought it had it.
