Heard a GT500 is coming before a Mach1
Thanks for all your insight Topnotch.

Question: I'm going on a limb and guessing on a couple things

1) Ford will turbocharge the new Gt500 simply because they don't have a production D.I. V8 yet. It's easier to boost a port injected vehicle.

2) Mach 1 will be an options package on the GT with 455Hp via Ford performance parts.

3) Ford will wait for the 2020-2021 model to unveil the DI V8.

Packaging.

What you see right there wouldn't simply drop right in an s550.
They probably won't do it due to engineering costs, but one cool way to get improved packaging and less lag is to do a "hot v" engine where you reverse the cylinder heads and put the turbos up top, between 'em.

Ford has experience placing the forced induction in board of the cylinder heads in the Scorpion.

Would make sense from a timing perspective. The first Mach 1 was introduced in 1968 as a 1969 model-year car. 2019 would be the 50th anniversary of that trim.
