yeah thats not true.
Yeah I had a WTF on that one as well.
:cheers: :lol: glad im not the only one.
This is my thinking......and I'd be very happy with that approach.
A couple years ago I would have said Ford would never do a flat plane crank 8,000 rpm V8. I have to admit I'd also be surprised if Ford did AWD, but if Ford is serious about making a car that will absolutely DESTROY the competition in a straight line (and possibly around corners) with obnoxious power, AWD would be a way to get much faster times.
When you have millions, what's a few pennies here and there? We already know they will probably have more than 700 hp. The biggest problem with street tires will be hooking up. There will be absolutely no concern with losing a couple HPs. WRT cost - it's supposed to be a premium offering. If it isn't significantly faster than the Dodge and Chivy, I'll be disappointed. Just having a higher HP number will only lead to additional tire smoke.
Ill be disappointed if it takes AWD to beat dodge and chevy. Its a mustang, it shouldn't be anything but rwd.
I'd rather have it be AWD as long as it makes the vehicle faster.
I'd love to see the Mach 1 hit 500HP.
Hope AWD GT500 doesn't cost $115,000 like UBB RS900I'd rather have it be AWD as long as it makes the vehicle faster.
If Ford makes the GT500 AWD that will also be another thing to separate the top Halo car from people who drop power adders onto their regular GTs or GT350s. An AWD adder is the way to make the GT500 faster than the Corvette. With RWD the size and weight differential will always be too much to overcome.
