I'm not much of a car guy, but when I read your comments on Ford, like any patriotic American (who was born in Mexico
) I was compelled to post an article I read on Jalopnik.com in regards to plasma-transferred wire arc (PTWA).
The Ford Engine Technology Good Enough For The Nissan GT-R - Shelby GT500 - Jalopnik
It basically involves blowing a fine mist of molten steel at high speed onto a rough surface and then honing that surface into a perfect cylinder bore.
Apparently, Nissan was impressed enough with this technology that they obtained license from Ford to incorporate on its GTR.
I guess Ford still can compete on some levels.
