I saw a photo of a Ford GT in a metallic red. I suspect it will be a basic red, but metallic, which looks awesome, IMO.

If I wasn't worried about MY2020 price increase, I might wait to order one. Otherwise, 2019's are a better value right now, IMO.

Seems like Ford has to do something in the engine department to entice 2018/2019 owners to jump to a 2020. I'm thinking a new tune to 490 HP, maybe with some parts, and then they make the package a performance upgrade to 2018/2019 owners. But then Bullitt needs a tune to 500 ponies... After the GT350 goes away I wouldn't be surprised to see the GT with the 5.2 CPC N/A version at 520 HP.

Ford wouldn't do that to the gt350 owners.

Saw a GT500 in Red Hot at the DC Auto Show last month.

I'm not sure what the right term for this is, but Ruby Red tends to shade from very dark in areas where light is indirect, with highlights that really pop in bright direct light - gives the color a lot of depth, more so than either Red Candy or Red Hot.

I'd say Red Hot is a colder red than Ruby. Looks real good.

All entirely subjective impressions, of course, and hard to put into words. But I plan to order a Red Hot GT in a few months.

Nothing real major aside from the hotter EB engine. Makes sense; the refresh is two years in the rearview mirror now.

Sad to see Ruby Red go, it was a nice color.

I also find it odd that the Bullitt is sticking around; I'd have thought that Ford would've dropped it to maintain exclusivity, as well as the facts that seatback pockets are restricted to that trim now, and the power passenger seat becoming 4-way. Odd bits of decontenting, those.

I had a 2016 manual and when I test drove a 2018 manual I didn't like the new gearing at all. In spite of more power, the car just didn't feel as strong in the lower gears. That was one of the reasons that I went with the 10A.

What is considered the best manual tranny gearing ratio to go with for the most fun accelerating without it winding too high at highway speeds, or massively impacting top end?

I had a hunch that Ford was gonna pull some extra color on the GT/CS. Id have wanted velocity blue GT/CS... they are now available or 2020 however it is a swap from Kona. Kona is nice and I may have chose that, it looks more subtle and the black stripes work on it

There are MANY threads (and opinions) on this, so just use the search feature. Short answer is choose 3.55 (2017-) or 3.73 (2018+) diff for M6.

Any idea when the 2020 build and price website will be up? Wasn't it up in May last year?

I would think any day since production is supposed to change over mid -August. Interestingly the Costco car buying site will actually let you select/build a 2020 and appears that have correct colors.

So sad they decided to get rid of the 6 way passenger seat. I owned a Fusion and I hated being in the passenger seat because I couldn’t see over the dash without stretching my neck. I sat in a 2019 Mustang passenger seat and was soooo excited to be able to adjust as needed. My heart sank when I read the new updates, and then to add to the injury, they also took Kona Blue off of the CS list!
