Yes all that, but my guess is mostly they simply don't want people bailing out of 2017 orders if they think 2018 is just around the corner. But then I'm just old and cynical

Same deal with the hood vents, also now on export models

For anyone who may be interested and haven't found the other thread were this has been mentioned, it turns out bore diameter has increased from 92.2 to 93.0 now its a 5.04 capacity (I was close)

This Royal Crimson color, is it an existing Ford color ??

So I was right, it made logical sense, a 93.0 bore, better than the min 92.7 I speculated Gt finally has a bigger bore than stroke (just) http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=74424

So who wants to guess the bore diameter on the new 2018 GT Logically because they still call it a 5.0 you would assume the same bore (additionally they state the only carry over item unchanged is the crankshaft) however I don't necessarily believe it will be the same bore Ford have stated...

Has anyone noticed a picture of the Royal Crimson yet

Not unless the 5.0 comes standard with spray bore (as has been suggested) it would then inherit the bigger (better breathing) bore of the 350 and run a slight reduction in the stroke to retain the 5.0 capacity

I find this confusing, I fully expect the standard 2018 GT (which is not that far off) will have similar if not more power and torque than this thing does, how are they going to sell any of these once that happens ??

The only way the GT 350 managed to obtain a 94 mm bore was by using the spray bore technology, in fact Ford go on to say that it is one of the main advantages of PTWA, ie getting maximum bore diameter in any given block. So assuming the standard 5.0 is going to get PTWA I think it's a safe bet...

There is a thread in the general forum section regarding the 2018 refresh, it's basically confirmed that both spray bore technology and direct injection is going to be standard on the 5.0 Because of this I believe the standard 5.0 will end up with a 94 mm bore, essentially same block as what's...

This is what I'm expecting also, and for the same reasons that you have suggested

Yes but that's my point the standard 2018 GT will already be tweaked. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't even a 5.0 but a 5.2,(don't they now do the spraybore process in house) as torque (ie capacity increase) is what It really needs to compete against the Camaro

If it's going to be a package, does that tend to suggest that it will use the standard GT motor. As to the tweaked coyote, I have no doubt the revised standard 2018 GT will certainly have the motor tweaked, it we need to to compete with the Camaro

Assuming the Mach 1 is a 2018 model, my guess is that it will be the 3.5 EB eng. I believe the 2018 GT eng will basically be the 350 GT eng with a cross-plane crank complete with it's own version of the 350 heads (less the CNC machining). They will have to do this because the new LT1 Camaro...

Anyone also notice the lack of hood vents in the GT. What I am pleased about is the PP wheels are not black, (thank god)

My guess is that the new inlet manifold will be slightly shorter than the existing GT manifold

The hotter duration of the CJ cam's have not been confirmed, only the 13mm lift has and I would be very surprised if it had it. I would expect the cam duration specs to remain the same. What I was a little disappointed to see was the absence of a proper variable volume inlet manifold like on...

I believe a lot of us are forgetting that the current boss motor has to rev to 7500 to produce its 444 hp where as the standard coyote (even in its new form) is restricted to 7000. I feel its a bit over the top to expect it to produce significantly more horsepower at significantly lower revs...
