They already have the Aluminator 5.2XS with CPC and Cobra Jet Intake Manifold.Why isn't there a place for it..?
Ford already races it & it is the base for the GT500, so putting a blower on it, would have a good halo path.
Heck, a NA version of the GT500's engine, should be cheaper to make than the GT350's engine. And I do believe many would choose to have the CPC 5.2, over the FPC.
We are not going to get the GT500 in 2018, it’s going to be in 2019 calendar year.Whats with all this 2020 GT500 designation when we are to get a 2019 GT500 in late Fall ?
Not emissions compliant (and most likely durability tests for a road legal car either) so forget it. Just look at this comment:They already have the Aluminator 5.2XS with CPC and Cobra Jet Intake Manifold. .
No NA version of the 5.2 outside of the GT4 car. There's no place for it. Also there's no reason to do any development of an NA 5.2 for road applications before supercharging. The SC'd engine will have different internals and revised head for a lower CR suited for production forced-induction.
I would not call what Blue said as snobby but truthful really. You can literally make any car fast. There is a 92 Civic that run at Palm Beach that does 1/4 in 8 secs.I dont give a shit with barret Jackson or your snobby comment...i don't buy cars as investments and not planning on selling...my car performs just fine...so you can take your comment n shove it up your 8 sec mustang gt tailpipe.
If it really turns 9k rpm I have a lot of saving to do.May C&D "25 Cars Worth Waiting For" - GT500 conspicuously absent? Number 1 was the ME Vette - looks nice, and is said to be available with a 9000rpm 5.5L DOHC FPC V8, which will eventually be available turbocharged!
Is the rumor for all next gen covettes being mid engine true? If that 5.5l fpc v8 turnes out to be their base engine and they keep the weight down, all hell will cut loose! 3300 lb with 500+ hp and perfect weight distribution!!!! Damn!May C&D "25 Cars Worth Waiting For" - GT500 conspicuously absent?

The two corvettes will co-exist for a few years. Both FR and MR will have the 460HP 6.2L NA as base engine (Maybe it gets a bump in hp when used in the ME Corvette though)Is the rumor for all next gen covettes being mid engine true?

Ford does a FPC, then the Gigantic Mistake wants to do one.:lol::lol::lol:May C&D "25 Cars Worth Waiting For" - GT500 conspicuously absent? Number 1 was the ME Vette - looks nice, and is said to be available with a 9000rpm 5.5L DOHC FPC V8, which will eventually be available turbocharged!

The discussion though is what the Gt500 will be when it comes out. If your happy with your 15 Procharge, then you would never be in the market for this car in the first place. To say though your car will whip this one...well that remains to be seen. A modded car vs stock is always a crazy convo to be have, but a Procharger on a 15 does not make a world beater. In truth, unless you have done some significant upgrades, it doubtful a 15 Procharge Mustang will take the new GT500 in straight line at all. But I could be wrong.
In the end it will be interesting to see what the GT500 is capable of, and what the cost will be. I am excited to see what comes next. Then of course the discussion of how fast it is or should be can be had. But as demon owners are finding out....there is always someone faster.
I'm sorry to say it, but your first comment about it wasn't that "valuable" or "necessary" either so... :shrug:what was snobby about it was the worthless comment; unecessary.

Waiting we are!!! And waiting. And..........I'm sorry to say it, but your first comment about it wasn't that "valuable" or "necessary" either so... :shrug:
What blue said is true though...
And quoting Ninjak
Let's wait and see what Ford has to offer.
