Default Maybe Gtho in pipe line

three weeks ago I spotted a black boss sedan taped up with black plastic front and back with no ford logos or markings but had two bonnet scoops,
one on each side of the bonnet bulge.

so maybe a GTHO in proggress but who knows.


spotted in SA :


and im not trying to blow anyones horn. :nutsycuck

There was some talk about a HO a couple of years ago, but a supercharged version of the Boss290. We can hope!

I would be surprised if it is just another GT as they have just released the BF GT but I don't know that it is a GTHO but it has to be more than a regular GT.

I saw skippy drive a speed boat once. It COULD have been a Saturn V booster rocket, as it had no badges, but im pretty sure, it was a bloody speed boat.

Calm it down mate.

I heard Ford got old stock of Titans off Nasa for testing purposes. Saturn V will be the HO phase 17 bazillion. This came from a very, very, very reliable dog.

That isnt true chook and you know it. Everyone knows the GTHO Phase 17 bazillion is going to be built from soviet rocketry. Youre such a noob.... so is your dog :P

Never too soon. We were at the dicovery centre and the tour guide told us that the BA was signed off as the AU1 was released. They knew 4 years before the BA, what the BA was going to look like

People have given up on a new GT HO. Hence their reactions.

If you have pics, please post.

I have herd from sources as well that they are developing a GTHO and that it will have twin supercharges to give around 370 to 400 kw but only a limited run due to cost but what ever they do it must be impressive if they are going to label it with those famous letters.

Erm... twin superchargers? what is the point of all that engineering effort when the single supercharger on the 5.4L V8 Ford GT can deliver 410kW and about 680Nm.

Besides, why put GTHO on it... it doesn't make sense these days (many threads on this).

So it's gone from seeing a covered up car to knowing the power output?

And people wonder why we take the ИИИИ every time a GTHO thread pops up.
