any update on a possible manual transmission option?

What happened to the Trans Am eating other cars at stoplights type commercials?

I mean, take it up with Road & Track: https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/future-cars/a26928654/ford-f-150-raptor-v-8-supercharged/

But Ford IS going to release a V8 raptor in 2021....

Has there been any recent word on this?

Just to confirm, the GT500 does have wider front fenders than the 5.0 GT, right?

THANK GOD. This car could be PERFECT if it had a manual option. My guess is that they release the DCT for the first model year, so all of the tests are completed by the magazines with the DCT times, than the 2021 MY, Ford releases a 7-speed manual transmission option

I am pretty damn bummed there is no manual transmission option. I think the rest of the car is perfect. If the ZR1 can have a 7-speed manual in it's 755 HP LT5, then the GT500 can have the same transmission. Im hoping Ford decides to at least offer manual transmission as an option later on...

I remember "enthusiasts" saying this about the 2000 Cobra R, the 2001 Cobra, the 2003 Cobra, and then the 2004 Cobra. And then of course the 2014 GT500 was the 'last of it's kind', and we would never see another car with over 650 HP from the factory. Those people sound so foolish now.

One of my dream builds is to do this to a 2018 GT Premium with the manual transmission and PP2. Excellent thread. BTW, I go crazy if I am not wrenching on a project or 'goal' as well. Keeps me busy, clears the head as well

I am 33 years old and I just decided to enlist in the Army as infantry. I have been waiting 4 years for this new GT500. I ship to OSUT at Ft Benning on 12/31/18 and will be in boot camp and infantry school for 3+ months. I am going to miss the reveal of this car I have waited so long for

Sweet Garage

The GT500 is too masculine for Ford's new image.

Ecoboost is killing Ford. Very questionable decisions with engine choice in new Raptor and Ford GT.

This car continues to dissapoint. Something happened to Ford once they started really pushing the EcoBoost moniker. About the same time they 'dissolved' SVT. I miss the John Coletti type.

My dad has a terminal illness and hes an old school car guy and I was thinking it would be a fun project to get an old used 5.0 302 V8 from like a older Explorer and do a basic rebuild of the motor and put it in his Ranger. His truck has the 4.0 V6 but it has like 200,000+ miles on it. Is it...

This is a relief. That style of spoiler looks really nice, and I was afraid we'd be stuck with a huge, ugly fixed wing. Cant wait to see this GT500, but Ford seems to be dragging their feet.

He was on the 405 south near Irvine. I've got to admit, that color looks MUCH better in person than in pictures. What a sweet car that was.

Even if it is revealed tomorrow, the GT500 has taken way too long to develop. It would have to be an insanely special car to live up the hype at this point, and I just dont see that happening.

I think the White GT350R with the Black stripes (and red pinstripes) is one of the best looks.
