With Jeep getting a 707 HP V8 , it just does not make sense Ford would offer a GT500 with less than 750 HP.

I don’t think it’s an illusion
The roof edge above the door looks different too at 20 seconds into the video

Since there is pictures of the LT1 on the ME Corvette, I would put my money on "High Performance model".
A couple of inches would make a huge difference in ergonomics (hand clearance) and assembly feasibility (among other things). The S550 simply can't ft a wider engine than the Coyote.
Well... not really.
Right now the "Big Transit" has three options: 3.7 V6, 3.5 V6 Ecoboost and L5 3.2 Powerstroke. The "little" Transit Connect has the 2.5L as the only option available (unless the website is wrong).

I think I heard something like that earlier..... but then I saw how those engines being unveil and said "well... it looks like the sheet wasn't that wrong..."
I don't know how Jeep getting a 707HP V8 would make a difference in which engine the GT500 should offer or not.
I mean, Dodge has the Durango.... Is it bad for the Mustang to be 2 row only when Dodge has a 3 row Durango?

I just think it is odd that some say the GT500 will just have a little over 700 HP. How can one be blown away with such a power level when an SUV can match it. Yawn !

:ford:I've watched while "hiding" and also reading this thread and have a friend who is selling his GT 500 {2009} low mileage and built for 600 plus HP with go-fast parts which indicates "something is happening" but can't get a solid confirmation on the specifics.

You are REALLY going to be disappointed when you find out the HP of an ocean liner's engines.

Can the general chit-chat and bench racing go to one of the many other threads? Every time I see this one updated, I hope it's with something real...

Since Ford has moved engine design past the 1950s, meaning dohc on most if not all engines, a big block won't fit. They fit in the Chevys and Chryslers because those are pushrod motors with little cylinder heads.
So, no, the big block is very unlikely in any Mustang. Heck, in the late 60s they were a very tight fit with the old pushrod motor. The 429 with its large valved heads were a thing of beauty.

Are people honestly looking at this relative to a Trackhawk? SMH. Dodge/Jeep is the brand of "because we can". No sane car person is going, "but that Jeep similar power!"
BTW, got my first track experience in a GT350 at COTA last week. If you need much more than that you're an exceptional driver and/or are a little 'off', like a top fuel or rally driver. :lol:

I kinda like that slogan "because we can"
We already know ford can offer a track pack, they did it on the last GT500, but how about in addition they add a drag pack option. Sounds cool, but they won't do it.
Fords slogan "Because we can't"

I don't see why a Drag Pack will not be an option. I suspect the mule without the rear wing is a Drag Pack mule.

You probably realize that on the track vs. the street makes a big difference. The GT350 isn't so crazy under 30 mph, but the Voodoo definitely does wake up at 40+ mph.
Also, if you drive a GT350 most days for a couple years, no matter who you are you will start to get used to it and at least be open to more power. I'm sure people who spend a lot of time at the track would prefer more power than the GT350 has. Heck, even as a relative novice I would welcome another 100 hp, especially if it was in a naturally aspirated form.
Now the 700+ hp range seems like a bit much, to me at least.

Yeah I get that. Randy Pobst was asked if he could have anything with the R what would it be..."100 more HP". I found it overall seriously impressive, even though knowing 526 hp isn't that much these days in a 3800 lb car.
