this is causing a lot of drama over various car forums.
Basically, the ferrari engineers when told MT was coming to pit the Ford GT against their 430, they upped the power, and just in case, added a "cheat code" to the car to give it even more power in case their baby couldn't beat the GT. Motortrend estimated the ringer used in this test was making between 60 and 65 more horsepower then a stock 430.
After the article was published, MT said that, even with the extra power, and "cheat codes" turned on, the ferrari engineers were constantly tinkering with the cars suspension, while telling the MT editors and drivers they were simply fixing problems within the car after citing "abuse" to the vehicle
what a crock of ****:
