Been seeing Friday a lot. What makes people think it will happen then?

Perhaps someone knows Ford's plans.Been seeing Friday a lot. What makes people think it will happen then?
I think it came from a knowledgeable user. But this Friday would've been during the Detroit Auto Show, where the probably would've made the announcement.Been seeing Friday a lot. What makes people think it will happen then?
I've been reaching out to Ford dealerships all week. 3 have taken my name a promised to call when they receive their allocation. Most have no clue and wanted to sell me a Mach-EI want to know now damnit. Need to plan for my next purchase.
Today I think I will go to my local dealer and ask if the can put me on a list in case it comes here
Same. Ironically, I'm one of the people they thought they would attract with the MACH-E. Sorry Ford, I want the real one.I've been reaching out to Ford dealerships all week. 3 have taken my name a promised to call when they receive their allocation. Most have no clue and wanted to sell me a Mach-E
They ain't putting on a CJ, but I'll bet it'll be a revised GT350 intake, bigger cams, GT350 heads, GT500 headers & cats. Maybe the complete GT500 exhaust. It's gonna be a parts bin car & a 60K price tag.Cobra jet like intake and 8000 rpms is also a must.
Cams. That's how. I should amend my GT350 heads comment to GT350 'style' heads. Better flow, bigger valves, same 5.0 chamber size. Those two alone will get you over the 500hp hump. Still gonna be and expensive parts bin car haha.but without something extra 525 is going to be a stretch
Ford already stated "most capable 5.0 track car ever". So it's gonna be a 5.0. Valve springs I wouldn't worry about. They're RPM limited, not so much lift limited.I wonder if they might use the predator block (or casting) to produce a 5.2 liter
Not that I think 525 is very likely to happen, but I don't think I buy this argument for why it won't. Once the GT350 is out of production and sold off dealer lots, Ford has no reason I can think of to prevent any model at any price point from matching or surpassing it. Like any publicly traded company, Ford only cares about the bottom line, and there is nothing "sacred" about a car they don't sell anymore. Nor should there be.They're not gonna challenge the GT350 hp. It's sacred. I'd guess right around 500 hp. GT350 CAI, premium gas tune (91 octane), GT350 comparable lobes on the cam, and better flowing headers. If they need the extra RPM to get there then they will need the GT350 intake manifold as well, but I would say it should be possible without.
