Re: 08 Cobra Jets in Pomona
[ QUOTE ]
wow.. thats not right. So the one we saw run were 100% throttle and all the others will be 40%? [/ QUOTE ] Here's the quote..... "Stuff you may not have known These cars are set for their big public racing debut at Pomona in a couple of weeks, but buyers are already getting them. What’s to prevent someone from stealing Ford’s thunder by getting one on a strip sooner? The computer tune in the car only allows the throttle to open 40 percent currently. After Pomona, all of the owners will receive either an entirely new computer or a flash tuner to fix that problem. Drive-by-wire tech is scary eh?" And you can read the story here. http://freiburgersjunkyard.com/blog/...et-No.-17.html Sorry, but I thought I had read it on a Ford website.

[/ QUOTE ] Seems like I read on a S/S site that 2 individuals bought the first 25 or 30...something crazy like that...and the ones @ Pomona were from those 2 owners. Just FoMoCo getting around the "available to the public" clause and working the NHRA...
