Yep, but they could have mapped it to at least 140bhp, its got the baby 112 map in it!

was working on them about 6-9months ago :D

For were thinking about putting the 140bhp VGT engine in BUT on talking to fleet bosses they thought the ST was too much for their oik drivers and suggetsed the lower power output.

when the I5 200bhp tranny eventually comes out that will be a monster :D

I would of thought Ford would of put more power in tbh, its in competion with the VW transporter T28 sport with 184bhp or something... a mates is chipped to 208bhp :D

I think you will also find that the "viper stripes" are actually GT stripes since the viper wasnt the first to have them...

SOme things that are normally wnak can be cool when applied to things that really shouldnt have them.

Shelby stripes?

Not keen tbh. Its purely a marketing ploy, I can see right through it.

they put M&M routeltte bins in the connect which made long road trips fun.

anything to make a van more fun to be in is good as it means the van weasel is less likely to trash it thus keeping the value up or repairs down.

Looks quite nice that. Seen a couple on forecourts around here, and wouldnt mind one but for the fact that Ive been put off transits since our 52 plate 100/t280 developed rust in both front wheel arches and the passenger side sill :mad:

Is it FWD too?
