Default When did ford upgrade the BF GTP to 302kw?
When did the BF GTP go from 290kw to 302kw? I thought Ford was only releasing the limited edition Cobra R-Spec with 302kw?

Pretty much all FPVs built after the Cobra as far as I know. FPV made no big deal of it though!

yeh I never read anything about it, thats why it was a suprise when I was reading the GTP specs on the FPV site, it said 302kw I was a little confused.

So how ****ed off are all the Cobra "limited edition" buyers then, if the GTP has the same power, what does the cobra have that makes it special? Some blue lines on it?

Yes true, I think people think the Cobra will be a collectable? I remember seeing someone had bought one and put it on ebay for 20 grand more than they paid, and it sold, so maybe these cobra's will become a collectable.

Thats probably why they kept it quite, so as not to off Cobra buyers.
