If they stuck a voodoo in a stripped down lightweight GT with the good brakes, aero and seats. I'd be in. 100% in.
I ruined my boss 302 putting a supercharger on it and it's almost paid off so I'll keep that to abuse people around town with but I would love to have what I described above. It's...
Oh yeah, I'm aware of that. I never thought it meant twin turbo but a lot of people are assuming it. Would be nice for it to be that but, the first pictures from a few weeks ago, to the videos and the stills the last few days it appears to be a different car.
It also appears to be two cars running around. The one has the TT stickers on it, different aero and different wheels. Something to take into consideration.
1320 video posted a video of the car rolling around. About half way down through the comments, two different guys that work for roush (mechanics) both said the same thing on different comments. I'm assuming they're not worried about it because what's going on isn't a big deal.
He didn't say. I'm assuming a new add on to roush RS vehicles maybe getting the 5.2? I mean you can clearly tell it's not a new platform here, the engine doesn't sound any different and there's zero hint of anything forced induction at all. I think everyone's jumping the gun here big time.
The covers are to hold all the heat possible in to simulate track temps with high operations im assuming. Trying to recreate the temps to prevent failure? It's believeable for sure and came from someone who "works on the other side of the fake brick wall".
Especially with people talking about added coolers etc etc it seems to be dead on. There was nothing different about the sound of the vehicle in the video except it may have an aftermarket exhaust on it that's about it.
A guy on Facebook pretty much just let the cat out of the bag.
Works as a mechanic at roush and said that this is just the roush test car that they were given from pre production and what they're doing is testing for extreme heat build up and how to adjust for it. It's believeable given all of...
I'm holding out for this. Numbers for the ZL1 came out this morning being 0-60 in 3.5 and 11.4 at 127 quarter mile out of the auto. Hopefully Ford will put an auto in this one. Still looking for a reason to not buy an already well built coyote for under $40,000.
It's just not practical anymore for their game to do big cube and big blower. It's not as efficient as turbos now. I can see a Mach 1 variant with a forged engine and supercharger from factory as a package, but even now with places like Lebanon ford offering the 727 package for $39,999 it's hard...
They're smart waiting for the newest ZL1 release. Wait till the market is finished producing for a few years (hellcat,ZL1, Possibly Z06 competitor?) and pounce. Everything for is doing is screaming ecoboost aside from drag packs.
Looks like a left over mule from 350 testing with something going on for sure. Would hope it's something with GT500. The brakes were the attention getter for me leading to it being an old 350 tester and seeing those wheels used at the ring last year.
