760hp may have been a lie.

Speaking of conspiracy theories. I heard Epstein’s body cremated it’s self. While the medical examiner stepped out for a moment.:idea:
Lots of people wanted him silenced....
His DNA is worth a couple bills...so I've read. Hmmmm my x took a Caribbean island trip in 2005


Correct. Ford, get your marketing team on the same page.
Yours will dyno at 600....nothing is ever assured accurate from car to car but I think they officially announced 760 so that's the min.... ask any Cobra owner from the 90's how Ford backs it up

I wonder if the 760 HP is the final number, originally the 2013 GT500 was listed at 650 HP and was later changed to 662 HP after it was SAE certified. Does anyone know if the new GT500 has received it's final SAE certification?

I am actually buying one, but I’m not concerned.
I’m just interested in the inconsistency in marketing.

Ford, you are a multibillion dollar company . . . Clean it up and announce the final numbers already.
It’s about money. Shortcuts?! Which is ok. But, there is always marketing. Remember most track ready GT350 for 2016? Then it wasn’t. Waiting for second MY.

I'm purely speculating here, but Ford launched the official 2020 Mustang site today and the GT500 is featured on it. Under the engine overviews, if you click on GT500 you are presented with the following information:

Now my question . . . why not just put 760hp?
We had to put up with that silly puzzle piece hp reveal to finally find out the actual hp of 760, and now they say "projected at over 700 hp".

Here is my conspiracy theory:
I think Ford is responding to the C8 launch, and all of the bowtie fanboys, by squeezing more power out of the GT500. They already changed from the previously mentioned 180mph top speed to the new 186mph on the new Mustang page. I think that they will announce a higher hp rating (maybe 785hp), 0-60 at 3.3s and 1/4 mile at 10.8s.

I may be overthinking this.
Your thoughts?
Whats the exact "website address". I went to Ford.com and its not at that one.

I don't see it. I see 186 mph top speed but nothing about the engine.
Scroll down till you see this.

Then scroll sideways and see this.

650Hp on pump 93 octane gas. I was under the impression it was 760 on pump 93 octane.

186mph is redline in 5th gear for the DCT. It is highly unlikely that the GT500 would be able to accelerate beyond that speed once shifted into a .68 6th gear. It would be drag/power limited.
