Because the Demon is a complete one-trick pony. You don't need to beat the Demon at the drag strip, because it's going to be damn near impossible to compete with AWD, a factory drag suspension, and 315-width Nittos at all four corners.
The Demon is not AWD..... but I agree with you, the reason the GT500 is not going against the Demon is because it's useless to go after a car that is good doing only one thing: Drag Race.
Same as in DCT? Or SAME trans? Are you implying they would do a transaxle? That would add weight, but it would dramatically help balance and put power down
regardless, I don't think ford even knows what they are going to release. like I said, if you are saying 720, I'll add another 30 to it for good measure. I think it will be in the 750 area when it's all said and done.
That Tremec DCT is available for both transaxle and RWD platforms; it’s a modular transmission.
It’s not that easy to just add another 30 to it, if they choose to drop the numbers to the lower 700’s they have a very good reason to do it. They do know what they are going to release, they are working on it FFS :lol: hahaha... nah, all jokes aside they have an specific HP target right know (in the low 700’s) but they announced it like “700+ HP” in case they don’t even reach those target numbers.
I understand that, that’s why I was trying to get clarification on the same or exact same.
I know as a fact that the ME Corvette will use the TR-9007 DCT7 (and most likely the new Z28) and it make sense that the GT500 will use the same one built at the new Wixom Plant (which also explains the delay of the car).
ME vette well most likely get it in a transaxle version. Supposedly GM has already 30k transmissions! Is there likely a Z28 coming? Chevy said they only wanted to do it with a NA engine...
projected can mean - or +, I'm gonna guess plus 50, regardless of what your brothers friend is telling you, it's not set in stone.
Projected is 700+ but they have a Target number which is the most accurate “final number” (In case they can reach it). Let’s put an example:
Let me guess, you guys already swapped out the blower and put a 4.5 Whipple on the predator? LOL :eyebulge:
like I said, I'll put in a bid for 750. I may be wrong, but that's my guess. sorry if it hurts your feelings if I like to have an opinion. An insider here was saying DCT long before you were here and also put in a vote at 800+ HP. it may not have passed durrabilty at those levels, but it was being tested there not a very long time ago.
