Yeah and in the beginning has a push rod engine. Considering all documents leading up this said 5.2 CPC. The engine as it comes shakes like hell. It would be nearly impossible for Ford to make a 5.2 FPC w/ FI to meet their durability requirements. Also considering all the talk said the FPC will only be in the 350. Also this engine won't need 8000rpm to make its power.

I won't be upset if I am wrong, just taken by major surprise
Ditto, I'd tend to agree based on all the recent halo info...but whatever it is I'm still <hoping> for 750hp +!!

By the way I want those Cobra center caps!!

Its what really made the car special. Biggest FPC V8 made in an american car no less.

Also the more I listen the more I hear CPC. Not high enough pitched. Granted I don't have the best quality speakers, but my 350R has a different tone

The front splitter area looks nice. Is it me or do the headlights look more like a 15-17 than a 18?
They look different from either, but if you mean turned up at the corner like the 15-17, vice a chopped corner (18) yes.

Looking at the head lights and the body around it, the one used in the video seems to match this front end design



Curious to see if its similar or if it ends up being different.

Correct. While I agree it does sound Voodoo-like, that engine stays with the GT350.

Here's some shots showing the important bits: Front fascia design, massive hood heat/pressure vents, big rear wing (channeling my inner Chris Harris "have you seen the rear wing!??"), brake cooling/lift reduction venting behind headlights, oh and '18 taillights.
It looks like a more aggressive GT350 front fascia. Not enthusiastic about that wing.

It sounds to voodoo like to me to be a CPC but will differ to those with more knowledge until it is confirmed.

Honestly sounds a lot like a Corsa Xtreme on the 5.0L (I know, I've had one). It is CPC.

I guess to me this is entirely different given the supercharger. Yea it might have been a defining feature of the 350 but as far as I know, the 350 will be no more after 2018?

See how long Ford dangles teasers over our heads before basic info comes out. If I recall it was a day or two after the teaser video went online.

That is what the idea seems to be. I believe they were originally going to stop in 17 but whether this car was delayed a year and they ran the 350 an extra year to fill the gap I don't know. Some said they did 18 to make up for lost sales and time with the oil line recall when they made the switch to cartridge oil filters. The 18 MY numbers are supposed to be about 55% less than MY 17

0:25-0:29

Sounds identical to the voodoo if you ask me.

It is a great time to be a Shelby fan!! Was disappointed to see no mention of the GT500 <to date> at the Detroit Auto Show. New Ranger and Bullet look awesome though!! Good to see the bullet has 475hp so it's not just an appearance package option!!

Thanks for doing that. I started doing screen grabs. Now I dont have to:cheers:

That vent around the headlights matches a couple renderings pretty close.

Hood looks great.

Love the open posts going down to the splitter
