Ford has actually let it slip in one magazine for future new car's, that it'll be a Supercharged 5.0, with between 685-725 hp.

Gt500 killer? Maybe on a daytona 500 type track it would beat a GT350, and maybe the old 2013/14 GT500 but at 4400 lbs it weighs just too much. I bet the new GT500 will tear it an absolute new one.Well Ford need to hurry it along. Dodge just unleashed it's widebody SRT Hellcat. Its a Hellcat that can TURN ! It has all of the roadcourse goodies in it, and the Hellcat engine. It went wide body to get the bigger tires on up front and out back. Plus its still does a solid 10.9 in the 1/4....Sounds like a GT500 killer too me...Dodge is making moves...big moves! and their not taking a year or two to do it. Just using a proven platform and making tweaks.
I hope it looks the business too because the WB Hellcat is one sexy beast.Gt500 killer? Maybe on a daytona 500 type track it would beat a GT350, and maybe the old 2013/14 GT500 but at 4400 lbs it weighs just too much. I bet the new GT500 will tear it an absolute new one.
Ford got 101HP/Litre out of the Voodoo NA so 700+ should be a no brainer for a 7.0....
Kill joy ;)Specific output does not scale with displacement. It is far easier to get 100+hp/liter when you have a very small displacement because as you increase the engine's displacement you also increase the rotating mass, reciprocating mass, internal friction, and pumping losses. All these things work against the engine's ability to make power.

What displacement is that FR9 racing motor, doesn't that make 900HP? I get that it probably isn't going to make the cut, emission wise, but that is one beast of a motor.Specific output does not scale with displacement.

I know exactly what you mean!My bank account is my personal and ever persistent kill joy, :frusty:
I too prefer wide hips made from metal not riveted plastic. But in general I'm a fan of the challenger's looks because it's old school muscle design. Adding some width and fatter tires looks good to me. The GT350 is also awesome but more in a modern sculpted way. Prefer the GT350 but love me some challenger too.Think so? I can't stand it, and its one of the main reasons I backed out of the demon purchase. Hideous IMO, but we all have different tastes. I can't stand flair bulges like that, it looks like a band aid. Prefer that its well though out and flares completely around the wheel like the current GT350, no lip/ seam.
I too like the challenger, just not the flares. Id love to see a lean cuda, something that can handle. Maybe a 3600 lbs with a 600 HP NA 427. Id like it to have tasteful throwback looks or be a modern day twist.I too prefer wide hips made from metal not riveted plastic.

I'd like to see FCA put out a Cuda. Smaller and lighter than a challenger but equally retro and muscular.
