Dafuq is that thing up top where the H crossover should be?

Will be interesting to see what the SVT produces. It appears that the new intake manifold (basically the old GT intake with charge motion flaps added) allowed it to gain some torque but cost it a good amount of hp on the top end. I bet with a Boss or CJ intake manifold these things will...

Seriously though, it appears that the new intake manifold (basically the old GT intake with charge motion flaps added) allowed it to gain some torque but cost it a good amount of hp on the top end. I bet with a Boss or CJ intake manifold these things will pick up quite a bit.

Lulz at all the people who were making fun of me a few pages back for guessing 435-440 and who said it would definitely make more than the Boss and probably be over 450 with all those "upgrades" Ford did. No way it could only gain 15 hp with those changes, should be at least a 40 hp gain. My...

My original post in this thread was before all of the details were released, so I was thinking around 450. Now I'm thinking 435-440 is probably more likely, though I wouldn't say 450 is impossible. I think the people who are guessing more than 450 are out of their minds though. Consider that...

The pistons are not forged like the Boss. It does not have the bearings used in the Boss. Hell, the Boss even has a special steel pulley for the alternator because the stock GT unit was prone to coming apart at high RPM. The list of unique engine parts for the Boss is like a full page long...

I'm not glossing over anything. Let's not forget despite all the unique changes to the Boss engine (heads, cams, intake, exhaust, etc.) it only picks up 32 hp over the 2011-2012 GT motor and 24 hp over the 2013-2014 GT motor. When the Boss came out the engineers basically said there was no...

My take is that the focus (between the charge motion control valves in the intake manifold and the mid phase lock for the TiVCT) is on increasing peak torque but especially on having a really broad and flat torque curve. Peak hp will increase over the current 420 number, but it isn't going to...

My understanding is that the 2015 uses the Boss exhaust cam and the Cobra Jet intake cam (which was originally intended for the Boss but later dropped due to cost concerns, and only provides a few hp over the GT/Boss intake cam). Where the CJ really differs is in its exhaust cams, which are way...

Wrong again, it's July 14.

You're the one that's misinformed, and there is much more to what they did to rate the Boss redline at 7500 than just that. I'll be shocked if the 2015 GT has a stock redline equal to or higher than the Boss.

It has heads that are slightly better than the Boss heads, the same exhaust cams as the Boss, and very slightly better intake cams. On the other hand, it has an intake manifold that is worse and it doesn't have the forged pistons/rods or some of the beefed up stuff Ford added to be extra...

The excuse that they were holding off on releasing the numbers until EPA certification was complete in cases changes were required that would reduce hp was valid a couple of months ago, but it is no longer valid with production starting in 3 days. They know what the final number is now, they...

I have Track Key on my Boss. I just wish the aftermarket would either figure out how to add a performance tune on top of TK or build a performance tune with the engine braking on decel and two step launch control to replace it.

Bracing for the power announcement. The fact that they're waiting so long doesn't bode well IMO.

IMO, every single manual transmission equipped performance car these days should come from the factory with two step launch control, auto-blip rev matching, and no lift shift throttle control. It's trivial to add these features in software with any modern car.

My understanding is that the carbon ceramic brakes and Multimatic shocks are a big part of the $75k price tag of the Z/28. So if the GT350 has them I wouldn't expect a price in the low 50's, I'd expect something closer to current GT500 prices.

They probably tested it on a track with pot holes, bumps, and uneven pavement to give the IRS an advantage.

I'd prefer the extra ponies actually be inside the engine.

I rented a 2011 Camaro for work one week. This after having owned 1969, 1972, and 1998 Camaros. The atrocious visibility of the 5th gen Camaro was what led me to abandon my GM background and buy the Boss Mustang. I felt like I was i a cave driving the Camaro, it's impossible to overstate how...
