Interesting GT500 color combination - Twister Orange with Kona Blue stripes

[biminiLX]

Yes I think Ford has done away with the little spoiler. If so then this is how it would be.
Base car with swing spoiler.

Handling package car with swing spoiler, added gurney flap and adjustable strut mounts.

Carbon fiber track pack car with GT4 wing, front wickers and maybe the adjustable strut mounts also.

While I agree that makes more sense, just 2 spoilers, have you seen anything to believe that?
The Ford photos showed the 3 spoilers.

In a interview with Carl Widmann a few days ago he talked about the base swing spoiler on the GT500.
Also we have not seen any GT500s driving around with the small spoiler for quite some time.

But.... (as you know) the Ford Performance catalog will be getting hit-up quite hard, for all those aftermarket GT500 parts..!

I hope so. FR had quite the fail with the GT350. The TB they bandied about never reached fruition, nor did the TracKey they advertised in their catalog. A $2k+ Borla exhaust system, a weak shifter, and some oil separators were about it. Hopefully someone was tasked with developing parts over the past two years and we see something a bit more concrete this time around.

Haven't we seen Handling Package cars (and possibly base cars) with the front splitter wickers too?

This has not gone unnoticed. It has not been easy figuring out everything Base or Handling Package. I'm still hoping for an all black, cloth Recaro being available on the lesser cars too. They were shown on some Ford media release cars but I've not seen them since.

I don’t think so?
I believe the online dealer ford e source info said something like that though.

Thanks, Yes that is what I meant.
Of course Ford could of changed it by now but who knows.
I have a couple of those GT500 brochures.

With CF Track Package cars being limited, it'll be interesting to see which sells in greater numbers, Base or Handling Package.

I am amazed how good looking the Ford stylist and designers can make such great color combinations like Twister Orange with blue racing stripes. I now am pleased Ford took so long to make everything look so very good and functional.

I drove a 4200 lb car with a 560 hp v8, 7 speed DCT on the weekend. It was







BORING.


I'm hoping the GT500 really whips the camel's ass. 200 hp should help, and some noise. I don't know how much under 4000 it will come in at...
