They didn't change their name. Check out their home page. Maybe Ford Performance Racing is a department within Ford Performance? Or he just has it wrong. :D

For what it's worth, Tremec recently announced a brand new DCT unit. I can't really see them just creating that on spec, they must have been working with a customer in mind, so my assumption is that it's either going into the Mustang or the next-gen Corvette.

Manga ride is overrated anyway. Anime ride is the only way to go!

Honestly, thePill, no matter what Ford eventually comes out with I just know you're going to say "I called it!" because at various times you've confidently asserted pretty much every possible variation. :lol:

It's more than just bragging rights. A big reason the Challenger had a sales resurgence over the last couple of years was the PR from the Hellcat. It's hard to know how large the effect is, but the high end aspirational models can definitely help increase awareness of the cars and get people...

One of the many bits of anonymous insider info in this forum said that Ford started the program with a turbo motor and then switched to a supercharger. If that's true (and who knows if it is), that'd be a good explanation for a protracted development cycle.

Sometimes it can be helpful looking at the competition. The ZL1 starts at $61K for the coupe. You can push the total close to $70K if you check enough boxes, and that doesn't include the upcoming ZL1 1LE package. So it'd be completely reasonable for the top model Mustang to be $65K to $75K...

That would be great, but neither car will upstage the other, they're aimed at different customers. The new Mustang will primarily be compared to the ZL1 and to a lesser extent the Vette. The Demon is going to be a very limited production car. Its job is to be the new halo car for Dodge since...

Well, that's a bummer. There were rumors that the GT350 was going to get the new Tremec DCT for '18. I know there are purists who only want the manual but I think having a choice is always good. I don't think Tremec would build a unit like that without an OEM commitment so I guess the other...

I think a bit of perspective is called for. It's silly comparing the Cobra Jet to the Demon. The Cobra Jet already has a Mopar competitor in the Challenger Drag Pak, another non-street legal pure competition drag car. The Demon is a total one-trick pony that's going to be produced in miniscule...

Keep in mind there's a huge amount of speculation in that article. And some of it isn't possible -- like they say the Z/28 might have a 750HP version of the supercharged motor in the ZR1. But the Chevy chief engineer has said that they'll only use the Z/28 name on normally aspirated cars.

I thought the same thing -- then I lost my mind and got a Hellcat. Really surprised me with how good it is. I expected a crap car with a fun engine. But it's really good! (Unless you want a canyon carver, then not so much.) The problem is that that's already a surprisingly crowded segment...

If someone is talking about AWD in the context of high horsepower cars it's about launches. The reason a Tesla Model S has such crazy 0-60 times is the AWD traction. GT-R's and Porsche Turbos are also AWD and launch brutally hard.

Shelby is just a pale ghost of its former self. It exists purely because of its famous name. Back in its heyday it was creating exciting, competitive race cars and street versions of those cars. Nowadays it creates overpriced poorly developed tuner cars. You can absolutely get more for your...

NO, it is not legit! That damn site pops up on Google News regularly much to my frustration. The primary thing they're good at is search engine optimization. :mad: They don't do any original reporting ever, they just recirculate rumors or news reported elsewhere. For sure they got the "800HP"...

It's pretty amusing because the rumors originated right here on this site. Basically there was a post here that had some internal Ford documents. Road & Track looked at the documents associated with the post and their editors were convinced they were legit. The post has since been removed; I...

I'm hopeful they'll announce the car at the Detroit Auto Show in January if they intend to release it late next year as an '18. If they don't announce it there, my assumption would be we're not going to see it in calendar '17.

HCT wants to assure you that HCT would never refer to himself in the third person.

In a 15 minute long video, the engineer seems to have called "dual fuel injection" by the term "dual fuel" a single time, at 11:28. Sure seems like a verbal shortcut, not attempting to redefine anything. If you look at Ford's official communications regarding the engine, they are much more...

It's blatantly obvious that it's not going to be the last year. Way back at the start of this thread, Michelle, who works in the Ford plant that makes the FPC motor, confirmed that they're going to be making that motor through 2020. Ford has clearly stated that the FPC is only going into the...
