So my takeaway from this is that Ford STILL doesn't test to SAE standards with a SAE witness.
As for if it matters....

Sorry fellas I disagree.
I have seen too many rules bent or broken in business when nobody is looking.
Something along these lines is in the news every day.
Prime example: Boeing was allowed to self validate a lot of stuff on a airplane that has been in the news a lot.... An airplane that had a couple of crashes killing hundreds of people. Then incriminating emails surfaced...
Sorry fellas, I disagree with you.
And why should they. The only people who even care are fanboys. I bet if GM didn't do the "certified witness" portion of the very same test then you would not care either. I don't think Ford is lying or has every lied about their power numbers. I say that not only because I know how horsepower actually works, but also knowing how much trouble they would get in if they did. I understand that you want to have this view simply because your favorite is "certified" so it makes you feel that you have a "one up" on the other brand, but the truth is nobody really cares. Going by your standards here, does that mean GM was lying in the past since it was not "certified"?
