I also reckon the GT500 we'll see the use of the 10sp auto... I think a lot of the drag fraternity would tick that option. Thoughts?

That would be Ford doing it right.

To me the GT500 might almost be best with no manual, only auto. The GT350 with no auto, only manual. Separates out the users and optimizes the car. Not that I would object to having a manual available in the GT500, but I probably will not be in the market for that car.

I don't think it will be a GT500. Period.

My bet is on the Cobra name coming back, and it will use the 350 platform. Followed shortly thereafter by an SAI aftermarket package called the "Super Cobra".

This is the 50th for the Mustang and GT350, I doubt Ford will pass up the 50th of the GT500.

I think they will top the Hellcat somewhere in the ballpark of 715 HP.

I'd have to agree.

However, with the efficiency of Fords v8 engines in terms of making power combined with ecoboost tech, I wouldn't be surprised if they went well beyond.

It's all simply a matter of what they WANT to do at this point.

I'm thinking a twin turbo 5.2 v8 800+ hp gt500 is very much a possibility.

Now I'm dreaming of a 10 speed automatic and AWD to enable consistent, reliable laughter at the GTR guys. But hey, a little dream never hurt nobody, right?

If Ken Block has his way your dream may come true :D

I've been thinking AWD as well - it would set the cat amongst the pigeons. First 9 second factory muscle car.

Although I think a little more wall thickness is required for boost. Maybe not a 5.2.
