With all the hurricanes and natural disasters, ford may not get this out before a massive co2/green house gas initiative gets under way. Where anything bigger than v6 gets the can.
Unless they they go the twin turbo route and if it can fit, PDI too. If Ford goes the TT route, it could help lower fuel consumption and emissions. Everyone is going TT these days for that reason.

Not that they are a concern in a halo performance car, but it could help Ford Performace stay in those regulation boundaries. It would also be awesome (maybe more from a marketing standpoint) to be the first 700hp car to be offered without a gas guzzler tax. Something FCA missed by a hair. Ford already did it with the 662 HP 2013 model.

You guys realize that nothing is coming. Latest ford performance vehicle is the Australian market ranger raptor. Then probably a bronco performance suv in 20 or 21. I still think the next performance mustang will be a hybrid in 21 or 22.

What? You have seen the photos of fully camouflaged mules going around with 335 tires, right? Something is coming.

I have a feeling Ford Performance is just waiting for the 2018 Mustang GT to go through the media review cycles before they drop the GT500 info. Why step on the hype train for the GT until everything is ready with the next Ford Performance Mustang? The GT350/GT350R interest hasn't died off so they are covered for now.

Trust me I want the next Ford Performance Mustang info now but there are valid business reasons why Ford is holding off. Now if the Detroit Auto show comes and goes without showing the car I'd be worried.

They could drop the next halo 'stang the day before S650 production starts and they'll still sell each and every one of them.

Mules running around for almost two years now. I remember when there where 04 mustang mules running around with v 10 engines supposedly for the all new 05 mustang. Hot rod magazine scooped the all new boss motor based on fords all new 6.2 engine for the 2010 update. You can go back to the beginning of mustang til the present and find mules with all sorts of things. Mules mean nothing other than they are testing something.

335's? I thought they were 325's. Ahhh....whats 1/8" wider... probably put down 1/2 more HP to the ground.
Hopefully there are some suspension upgrades to prevent wheel hop,this thing is gonna be spinning all over the damn place, even with 335's. When I get on my 300HP less car I spin and hop when getting on it with 325 glue tires. What the hell are they going to use to keep this thing planted.

Sure not.waiting around.for. Lots of.very nice cars out there that can be had for 70 or 80 grand, from Corvettes, to ZL ones, to Porsches and BMWs. No need to wait around for a hot rod Mustang.

Completely logical post. They know what they are doing. We only need to look back at the 2015 timeline for reference.

-drop 15 mustang
-drop 15 mustang 50th limited edition
-drop gt350

There is no hype train for the 2018 refresh, more like a hype bus or a hype SUV.

That was a pet project for fun, zero intention of being a production vehicle.

Your are making my point just because you see a mule with something cool powering it or a wide tire or it sounds turbocharged. It doesn't mean squat. It could be a fun project or testing something for a totally different platform. Until ford releases something everything else is a guess or an opinion.

it was said elsewhere: What do you want out of the Gt500? To beat the ZL1 - L1E.

'you will be happy'
Hmmm, sounds like a hell of a track car to me.
Hopefully seperate packages can be ordered. Track or drag

That's what I've been saying since the beginning.
