MARC car boss notes poor ventilation of the Gen 3 and the detuned nature of the 5.4L Herrod Coyote in the ATCC:
Quote:
They [ATCC] are running the restrictor to 600hp, whereas we [MARC cars] are running the unrestricted [5.4L Herrod V8] to 630hp, which is the same engine without the restrictor.
We haven't had that problem because we are ventilated under the bonnet.

Unlike the Gen 3 ATCC car, the MARC car has large bonnet vents to evacuate heat, as well as placing the oil catch can in the boot of the vehicle...

Or a bit rich to complain about Ford Performance using an engine that has then been detuned by 30hp outside of their wishes?
