It's good info. I think most people here are pretty up to date on it already, but surprised to hear Watson Racing spilled the beans.

Do you work on it by chance?

http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php/this-solid-info-1964.html Same guys that posted this. I can tell you it is chock full of wrong info so I would not trust any of it. But yea the FPC engine is real.

PP is pilot production, not pre production. Same basic idea however. TT is tooling trial (edit, someone beat me to it). The order is TT build ---> PP build ---> Mass production

You have a very interesting name and location ;)

Not surprising the line is not running. It's down for this week and they are using the time for tours etc. Enjoy yourself, lots to see there.

Yep for sure one of the most overlooked "numbers" that no one seems to be focused on. People obsess over HP too much when driving dynamics of a well rounded ride is about so much more.

There really is no need for '16 mules anyhow. No changes will be made that would require prototype testing.

Voodoo. 3.5L would be a SE, not SVT. This last part is my guess.

No. A little research never hurts. 2015 GT coupe = 8.52 LBS/HP 2014 GT coupe = 8.61 LBS/HP As they said repeatedly, they were still testing and tweaking. Not sure what is so hard for people to understand about this.

100% this. This is not a 2014 with a 15hp increase. All of the cumulative improvements will make it be heads above the outgoing model. I don't think anyone will be disappointed when they see and feel how it performs.

Yea, like I said.....again all the naysayers are wrong.

Or maybe being a chief engineer knows he could make it fit given what he knows about the new engine developments and the fact that it won't have to comply with stricter pedestrian safety standards overseas as the SVT will not be officially offered there. I think it is more likely if there...

Why is it surprising or even interesting that Pericak said the Trinity motor would fit with modifications? He was asked outright and did not volunteer the info. What was he supposed to say? There are many engines that would fit with modifications. That doesn't mean it is planned for the...

Not sure how many times it needs to be said but, the Trinity engine is done, gone, kaput, never to be seen in the S550. Considering how wrong they are on that, it is really sheer luck that they are right about the FPC probably just because its been repeated so many times by different media...

As I have been saying it is dangerous engaging in wishful thinking and getting people's hopes up when some of us have had real info for a while now. In the end it doesnt matter who was right or wrong. These figures should not be surprising with all that the 2015 offers. I think those that are...

In your head you are adding 20-100 pounds to the S197 and comparing it to a future Camaro with hypothetical weight loss. It is as silly of a heads up competition as it gets since you have no idea how the new platform changes meld with the numbers, which is the point of the poster you are...

Of course everyone is already convinced they know about the Alpha Camaro. "Why does a 4 door sedan weigh less than a 2 door sports coupe?" they asked. Apparently it is relevant to Ford but not GM. Nevermind that question is apples to oranges in the first place. People never learn it seems. It...

For what you are looking for, 40-50hp increase out the gate, I would say you will not be buying an S550 for at least a few years. Not happening for 2015 for sure. The fact that you would choose the 2011 over say, a Fox body, means it is more than just a weight issue right? Looks, comfort...

I see, well good luck to you guys. I cant imagine hanging on to my 2011 (and especially cant imagine buying one now) with all that the 2015 offers and everything I have been told. I think it's safe to say 50lbs is not enough to make most people change their minds with all the improvements...
