Yes! TUNE!!! Ask those 350 owners that have had the warranty denied due to engine failure because of a tune. The tune was not even installed at the time of failure and still Ford saw the tune record and voided his warranty.I still maintain my point that for 99% of people 180 is enough. Most of us can't push a car to 10/10. For the rest, r u telling me you won't just tune it and take the limiter off? Let's be honest if your pushing a car up to 180 and it's a mustang, your not leaving it stock.
Also I have read in the past how terrible the prior gt500 handled especially at a higher speed. At least now that should not be a concern. Remember folks this ain't no Ferrari. Can't have everything. I'll take beating the others in the 1/4 mile and on a track over a high speed contest. But that's just me.
That doesn't mean people won't do it. Look at the ecoboost. A lot still tune knowing full well that the ecoboom is a real possibility.Yes! TUNE!!!

I understand your point, and it is true, but when Ford says this is the most powerful Mustang ever and it goes slower. A lot of people will look puzzled.I still maintain my point that for 99% of people 180 is enough. Most of us can't push a car to 10/10.

I didn't say they won't but I doubt Tom would.That doesn't mean people won't do it.
Fair enough, I can agree with that.I understand your point, and it is true, but when Ford says this is the most powerful Mustang ever and it goes slower. A lot of people will look puzzled.
Well now your just too specific, I have no more arguments good sir lol.I didn't say they won't but I doubt Tom would.
Isn't the top of 5th 175mph in a standard GT350? I thought the R was ~168mph because of the smaller diameter wheels.The best I could ever get at Daytona was 175MPH in a GT350R.

I do also but I know I'm in the minority. Being a half mile racer and my colleagues at FoMoCo knowing my goals, they had me order my car in fall of 2017 instead of waiting for the GT500. I'm the kinda guy who had a stock appearance/sounding 2016 SHO daily driver that went 166mph and saw 150+mph weekly though. The GT500 will be a great road course car.Meh so what, who cares about top speed. The likelihood that your gonna go over 180mph is slim to none. More than enough for 99% of the driving anyone will ever do. I would much rather them invest the money into handling development and refining the car over all then making it suitable for 200mph speeds. Good job Ford for putting he dollars where they needed to go.
