Just my thoughts. If this is a track oriented car then it would yield a substantial torque output. Plus going off Carolls "torque wins races" saying I suspect this car to yield 475ft/lbs.
The FP team won't do us wrong, and speculation comes with anxious anticipation for this product. I say...
We need to come together in these times of ADM. If I'm paying ADM I might as well burn my money right in front of the salesman. What did they do to earn it? That's stealing if you are misinformed about the car you are trying to purchase or clueless.
If you have information regarding a dealer...
If it's a track car like Ford says why would you want steep gears? They should offer 3.55s you would really be able to build speed, and not have to change gears as much.
Question... I understand why they do packages so it's easier for assembly, but why not make options individual? I can understand a dealer ordering the car with packages. As a customer I want the option to individualize my car with things that will work for me. Like a GT350R I want regular iron...
The weight lost in the drivetrain is offset by what the car gains in other areas so I didn't add it to the above. What do you guys think? Realistic or not?
I mean how much can a radiator support really save weight wise? (4lbs) 5.2L weight vs 5.0L? (3lbs) What about wheels? (80lbs/128lbs static weight) Track pack? (+15lbs) Rotor hats in all 4 corners? (4lbs)
3814lbs (GT) +/- above= 3690lbs GT350
3705lbs (Base GT) +/- above= 3581lbs GT350
I'm...
They need to release specs soon. I'd like to plan finically. Or at least release the weight of the GT350 & GT350R that would make the decision so much easier.
