Iā€™m sticking with my original guess of 785. Do I win a free CFTP upgrade if Iā€™m right?

Why no 772?!!
I think because the lower left curve of the middle number is visible in the latest puzzle piece. It rules out 1, 2, 4 and 7 - the latter two numbers I was thinking this morning were most likely. C'est la guerre.

Most of us, considering you are in the GT500 forum section. :like:

True, but is the actual hp number going to make or break alot of you guys' decision to buy the GT500? Or is it more of an informative thing?

I assume the latter, because we know it's going to be 700+ hp and I can't imagine that there would be many if at all prospective buyers that will be turned away if the engine makes say 720hp instead of 740 or so.

Definitely won't change my mind on purchasing the car. Personally, I'd be happy with 701. However, that doesn't mean I don't care as RoyalCrimsonGT stated. If we didn't care, this thread would not be going on 6 pages worth of posts.

Weight is going to be the more important number and if it comes in over 4000lbs, which is likely, a low 700 number would be disappointing. Weā€™ll see soon enough!

Im saying 755 still. High enough to make everyone happy, low enough to be reliable from a warranty standpoint

You are correct, but for the wrong reasons. 701-799 i dont care, because it will be 800+ rwhp withing days :)

That last digit would be one funky looking 5. Not saying it's not possible, but without the top right of that number curving back to the left, I think it eliminates the 3, 5, 6, and 8 numbers.

Who will swap for a 7.3 thread went much farther much faster.

Ford really should have taken a few pages out of the GM/Mopar books and offered a much larger engine.
Cast the block out of alloy and be done......

The hp number will decide on who buys this car.
Waiting several years have hurt it.
Limited to 185 mph hurts it....
Although I like the styling, many don't.
The hp number had better be a home run or others will shop
somewhere else.

Everything you just said is incorrect. Nothing they have done is hurting sales.
If what you said is true, there would be no ADMs and everyone wanting one would have a deposit down instead of going to forums to find a dealer that hasn't sold their allocation yet, with or without ADM
