Anything is possible, could be a GT350 with that INSANE twin turbo coyote we have all been hearing about. I do hope if the GT500 comes to town, it sports some kind of visual differences between the 350 and 500.

I cannot wait to hear those snails spool. Gonna be ridiculous. Is the TTV8 confirmed, or still just a rumor?

It has 800 hp. That is all you need to know
if the manage to make a gt500 with the gt350r set up, it would be one hell of a car. Hopefully ford doesn't ruin it again by making it to nose heavy.

IIRC the little sensor mounted on the top is a sound/noise sensor. Not sure about the other fat sensor.

I just noticed the two gauges on the A pillar. TT??

This is a wild guess, the fat sensor could be the Ultra Puck 3D mapping sensor. It could map the curb during sliding/drifting to avoid the embarrassment lol.

Id love nothing more than an 800 hp beast build on GT350 legs.

That left A-pillar has some gauges... So, they're evidently measuring something that the dash gauges and the instrument cluster doesn't. That could only be boost pressure, IMHO... As near bout everything else is monitored by the cluster and dash instrumentation.

Unless the driver was foot-in-the-throttle on the car I doubt they could tell much difference, unless it was a V6.

The guy that took the photos replied on Facebook..........he couldn't really tell if it was the Voodoo engine as he had his a/c cranked right up due to the 100 degree heat :(

Just a rumor being flung around the interwebz.

I liked the comment by Alexi about Ford making the GT500 too nose heavy. I am still baffled by the fact the new Mustangs have the battery in the engine compartment. From what I hear , the new Camaro has the battery in the trunk.
