LOL900 is a bit more? Wow...even 800 would be monstrous in this car. Damn this this is gonna light it up.
Im super surprised with the 3800 lb area, was thinking 3900.
āBoy Clark, this is just a really big surpriseā
...893hp = 666kWNew member here. I haven't read through the whole topic, but I was sent some information from someone at Roush. They currently have a 2020 GT500. My source called it a 2020 GT500 "R". The "R" is the stripped down version like the GT350R. My source claims 900HP and 3800 lbs. 5.2L supercharged, no word on transmissions, yet.

Still thinking inside that box ;)That lowering of compression comes a big loss of power but also enables to run higher boost, so it gets it back that way.
I'm not sure how much boost they are running with that whipple but at 780WP, it sounds like it's pushing it with stock internals and a OPG is a must.
Thing with tuning is, it doesn't need to pass regulations so you can go to the moon if you want. Ford has to build it so it passes emissions and durrabilty. Not an easy task with 850 or 900 hp. I'm with Tony, 750 to 800. If it's 800 id be astonished and if over 815 id be floored.
On another front Iāve been thinking about Bmacās post about a more powerful version s550 coming for the 2021 year.
Since 2021 is slated for the 650, I find it hard to believe that a S550 would run on the same line. The line is specifically made to hold the chassis of that car isnāt it, plus all the components that would be different, it would make for a bear.
With the info Bmac gave us, Iād have to guess that the one made for 2021 is going to be a race version only, No VIN.
Itās proably ultra low production built off line by hand. Sorta like the FP350S
Either that or is got a VIN and is ultra low production, maybe 500 cars total.
Conventional thinking has been a downfall, although it sometimes comes in handy.Still thinking inside that box ;)
I feel like when we think outside of the box, you shut us down! For the 2021 the only thing I can think of would be a TT setup or I suppose a big block DOHC engine. This would be based on the S550 platform correct? They wouldnāt release a halo S650 before the base carsStill thinking inside that box ;)
I knew there was a reason I stopped thinking out of the box on this GT500 ;)I feel like when we think outside of the box, you shut us down!
For me Iād like to see a bit more to convince me to purchase early. Such as rear wheel steering, wide body, or more CF to keep weight down, or FI that is more unique then a roots SC. A DCT is fantastic on the track but in the rear world itās not anymore special then the A10.Thats exactly why I stopped thinking out of the box on this GT500.
The only thing I really would like is a DCT or auto option and 800HP range. Everything else could be just like the GT350 and I'd buy it.
