If it does come with a dual clutch and a decent launch control system, I see no reason it wouldn’t outperform a demon on a drag strip. Ford just needs to stop playing hide-and-seek and unveil the car already. It’s getting ridiculous.
Ford marketing department for the Mustang has always suck. Instead of making interesting videos like this they'd rather have their cars debut on Good Morning America and other old school boring stuff like that.
A good friend of mine who is also a dealer told me he was meeting with Ford this week about allocations and general information about the GT500. Will be following up with him on Saturday for info.
That’s unfortunate. If it comes out weighing as much as a mountain, might just save a little more money and go for a used Mclaren 570s. No point having a mountain of horsepower if the car itself weighs as much as a mountain.
I'd rather have more money go towards weight reduction. No point having a mountain of horsepower while the car itself weighs as much as a mountain. I'd rather take a 600HP GT500 that weighs less than 3500 pounds, than a 700HP GT500 that weighs 3800+.
Ford has a hand in the article. It’s no coincident that they published this just as we start seeing more spy shots of the car. It’s controlled media release.
Jonny Lieberman from Motortrend got the latest on the GT500. The magazine issue seem to be for July 2018. This video was posted on his Instagram story yesterday.

DCT is just as engaging and enjoyable as a manual, even moreso on a track. I don't get people's obsession with manuals, partly due to the fact they haven't tried a DCT and partially due to peer pressure, I feel.
