Sitting here with a paid off black 2016 GT Premium track pack that still has new car smell and was thinking of trading it in on a new GT500 when the new Predator crate engine got me thinking...
Ford, for some ridiculous marketing reasons, never made a 2016 GT-500.... but what if they had...
Plan:
Predeator engine swap with factory headers and full factory cats legal exhaust
Tremec Megnum XL transmission / 2.66 1st gear and 0.5 OD / - I already have it
GT350 shift knob
GT350 red push start button
Cervini GT500 style hood
2020 Cobra badges on exterior
Forescan radio to display Cobra logo
GT350-R steering wheel and airbag with Cobra logo
GT350 active exhaust with factory console switches and figure out how to make it work like factory through forescan
GT350 rear quad exhaust valance.
Anderson composites open grill
staggered gun metal gray wheels. 19" front, 20" rear like the 2014 GT500's
2016 GT track pack springs, shocks, and control arms
Ford racing half shafts
Torsen rear LSD with 3.73 gears
There is no reason Ford could not have made the above car in 2016.
Whole thing would be something you could have driven off a deal floor in 2016.
Do it ?
