2020 GT350 - Do we think it will have the Digital Instrument Cluster?

[thaext]

You absolutely can change redline in the software along with most everything else. Half of Ford's products share parts with new programming.

But, have it your way. Just trying to help.

one of the major issues that Hellhorse has found is the redline, and also the button functionality in the digital cluster.

I'm sure it's just a matter of time. The Bullitt Cluster has a 180mph speedo, so I'm sure the settings are in there somewhere.

People have swapped the GT350 cluster into a standard GT, so I don't see why it would be that difficult.

I don’t think it would physically be a thing at all but as stated the higher redline is likely the biggest concern. While I don’t doubt the ability to alter programming in Forscan, what I don’t think is programmable are the graphics that would be needed for the tach to be displayed with the added range to accommodate the higher redline I asked Hellhorse about it and they said they do not have a solution yet, but I remain hopeful.

Considering the GT350 will have a different engine block (not indicated there), and considering the other typical omissions Ford is known to make, I am still holding out hope.

The order guide will tell us for sure, and supposedly it will be released any day now.

Who said the GT350 is getting a different engine block?

The chief engineer said once the GT500 goes into production the Gt350 will receive its block. People are acting like this will be a huge change and it wont they are doing it for streamlining purposes so they don't have to have 2 different blocks and it will make no more power and will be no more reliable than the changes implemented already for 2019.

I’d prefer the analog dash. The digital dash is cute but I’m sure won’t hold up over time. In 20 years the analog dash will be way cool and the digital will be like something out of knight rider.

Analog always bests digital.

Look at the red airbrushed section.

Beat me to it.

Besides the analog speedometer and tachometer, you realize all the rest of the information in the center portion is digital and therefore falls under your “20 years” postulate, yes?

While I agree with you in principle- that we live in a throw-away society and these things will not hold up over time- I also am not going to swim upstream and think I can avoid digits dashboards in cars or the associated certainty of future burdens when it comes to maintaining them.

For me the digital dash is a wonderful aesthetic element and also a very functional device.

Sure -but that stuff isn't at all as important as the dash. That dash is going to be a dog in a few years - like an old flatscreen TV.

Even if we dont I got a gt one to work. Only thing I got left to do is the exhaust mode! Even line lock works... See vids

GT350 should be the last SVT Mustang car with manual transmission and manual needles

Nice work. The only hesitation I’d have is the tach not reading high enough.

Well I’m bummed that Ford didn’t spend the extra few shekels on creating some software for the Voodoo engine to be implemented into the digital instrument cluster.

Oh well.

Good luck to the guys who work on aftermarket solutions. There will likely be a market for that.

Beat me to it.

So, since you quoted the Dealer announcement, find the 2019 GT350 announcement where it says it gets an improved block
