Huge Heffner

Tweaked Ford GT is no bunny

---

US tuner Heffner Performance has teamed up with Ford ‘living legends’ stylist Camilo Pardo to produce a one-off special edition Ford GT featuring subtle design tweaks apparently proposed by Pardo for production models of Ford’s iconic supercar.

The race-inspired styling mods include unique graphics and a ‘heritage racing inspired paintjob’, flat black BBS wheels, and a concept-style rear bumper. The car also features black-lipped side mirrors, matte black fuel filler and door latches, plus a unique interior with aluminium seat grommets and a chrome shifter.

Heffner’s side of the collaboration is a little less subtle – they bolted on a twin turbo performance kit allegedly good for 900bhp and a 150mph standing quarter mile speed.Heffner and Pardo first met in 2006 when the company modified Pardo’s first GT and the seeds for this collaboration were sown. A similar Heffner converted Ford GT took part in the Car and Driver 0-200-0 shoot-out, recording a time of less than 19 seconds.

This unique Special Edition car was revealed at the Ford GT National Rally III in September – and was snapped up within seconds for an undisclosed sum by a GT fanatic who already had four Ford GTs in his collection. Heffner Performance says it hopes to collaborate with Pardo on another project soon.

Who really cares if this is reliable?

People still buy TVR's, do they not?

Somehow it put my reply on the other thread erm...oh well, as I said earlier...

I know it has 900bhp and everything but 0-200-0 in less than 19 seconds I mean that can't be right can it.....what does a Veyron do it and that must be a lot quicker initially due to all its grip.

I never said there was lol, perhaps people need to chill slightly with all the name calling!!

Thought christ if you can afford a twin turbo Ford GT I doubt it matters very much if it is unreliable as I guess you wouldnt use it as a daily driver!!

Having discussed this point at length with a nice chap at Ford, his main problem was lack of use and not putting the thing on a battery maintainer as he was told to. Ford Heritage's own one just works, very very very well. And I want one.
