Help ford build the new GTHO

[steve.zissou]

OK, Every time i see someone from ford talk about a new GTHO they always say things like "We have to get this right" " we need to live up to the legend" " The expense of engenering this needs to be accounted for" bla bla bla.

Well i though we could give them a hand. There is probably enough experience in the aftermarket world to spec up every little bit of a new GTHO which should save ford a heap of money (which we know they love - they might save enough to put lights in gloveboxes ;)

I figure we could throw some costings in there to make the bean counters happy and see what we come up with. I sugest rrp as ford could do it heaps cheaper but that would be their margin.

I figure it has to be true to the original - ie. over the top. Also I am as far from an expert as you can get so feel free to correct everything

gearbox

either strengthened t6060 or go to a sequential
$10,000

axle

?

dif

I think something custom as from what I see they would have a hard time geting even a strengthened one to last a 20,000k waranty
$10,000

suspension rear

?

suspension front

? but will need a modified (or from teritory) knuckle

brakes

Ceramic?

Wheels Tyres

F/ 295/30/18 (will need to change the front suspension - teritory might provide clearance)
R/ 345/30/19 I figure the guards will need to be pumped/expanded front and back
$12000 including pumped/extended guards and other adjustments to fit this set up

interior

Total Cost running total $136000

i think it could be done for $150k (with that sort of power it is heaps better value than w427) And you try telling me every man and his dog wouldnt kill their own mother to own a 550kw GTHO even at $150k
