[QUOTE="Torch10th, post: 11355667, member: 15703"] It's all hearsay at this point. It's very possible that there are no actual changes at all. It could be that there are. What is known is that under the current SAE rating system, a dealer must advertise their vehicle within 1% +/- of the SAE testing procedures. A company can use that allowance to market their vehicles with "upgrades." For instance, if the SAE net figures produced during certification gave a number of 416 hp, that gives Ford +/- 4 hp that they can play with on their marketing. Start on the low-end and move up. That's certainly not to say that's what is going on. There's a TON of possibilities including actual upgrades to the motor. Until Ford actually says anything specific on the matter, we'll probably not know. Anyway, it's only 8 hp. There's nowhere near the difference to make the new car any faster. especially if it's added weight which is always a possibility. [/QUOTE]
