no reason why not. The Chiron handles it.
My assumption (for what its worth) would be they "settled" at 760hp as that is a safe figure for the car in terms of ensuring it meets all of Ford's emissions/longevity/warranty targets with a safe contingency whilst adhering to all the rules full blown manufacturers must meet.So, why didn't they go to 1,000HP or even 850HP?
Why stop at 760HP? Does Jim say anything about that? That car would definitely be running low 10's all day, easily.
Weird,...............
To further clarify and avoid confusion...the '08/'09 KR's were pre-title and met the requisite rules in place at the time. Safety concerns and ever changing regulation have made it such that we probably won't be seeing that again from SA, hence why the cars you see from them now are all post-title vehicles. Either could have been "sold through dealers."
IIRC you said sometime during the years (lol) of speculation here on what the final power figures would be, that some of the mules they tested had over 800fwhp. Obviously the other components in the driveline are the limitations.
That makes sense since you put it that way.My assumption (for what its worth) would be they "settled" at 760hp as that is a safe figure for the car in terms of ensuring it meets all of Ford's emissions/longevity/warranty targets with a safe contingency whilst adhering to all the rules full blown manufacturers must meet.
The Super Snakes are effectively aftermarket conversions, so don't have to meet those same strict standards. Dave Pericak touches on this very briefly in the Jay Leno video, when the two of them are in the car.
However, if I recall correctly, the last KR ('08/'09) was actually sold through Ford dealers, so not classed as an aftermarket conversion. That car only had an additional 40hp over the stock GT500's 500hp though, so this new car will be in a very different league. That assumes the new car is a KR, too, but that's just my guess.
Also, bear in mind Shelby have already produced a Shelby 1000 based on the '18 GT.......so 1000hp out of the 5.0 Coyote! That car is not street legal though, so I'm guessing that's to do with not being emissions compliant.
LOL.....yea like we'll pay attention to that.......
V: I think that's FANTASTIC but, I KNOW it will be a great deal of work so thanks in advance. The whole subject is interesting as heck.
This the start of Voodoo YT?? Or you going to be a subcontractor for Stangmode? Either way I will watch, in part for DCT content and also to see who you are in case i see you at Wegmans.
