It is a diversion. We all know the car has more than 700 hp but the real question is the weight. If it really weights 4000+ lbs ohh my. Good try Ford.

This is like an obstacle course. Next up - the ADM's await! If you make it past that stage and to the finals it'll be the "cross your fingers game" if you are hoping your dealer can actually get a CF TP or not.

Crikey.
Oh and don't forget all the dealers that will flat out lie to you and tell you they have an allocation when in fact they don't. (they just figure if they get a big enough ADM they will be able to get their hands on one.) And if you are lucky to be one of the first ones to nail down an order maybe they will do the same thing to you that they did to the guys that ordered their Focus RS on the first day the order banks were open. They got them last! Many waited well over a year. (then they had the whole head gasket fiasco which is another sad story in itself.)

First number is

7

Second is either 0,6, or 9.

There is either 0,6, or 9.

So itā€™s at least 760.

Higher than GMs 755. So thatā€™s great.

But... it is a bit of a missed opportunity to go after Dodge.
That said, itā€™s amazing and worthy of praise.

And once they throw a modern fuel delivery system in, we will see a 5.2 over 800 hp.

The second number can also be 3, 5 or 8. And it's not a 0 since Jim Owens said it will have a number other than 0 after the 7.

Who cares about the GT500 hp anyways, I donā€™t because Iā€™ll never buy one... besides I can get 800+ on my ā€˜18 for cheaper lol.
Because your car wonā€™t look nearly as good, be as fast, or handle as well. And it wonā€™t have the warranty or the prestige. The last two donā€™t matter as much to some. But the top three are solid.

I just figured out I may not be in for the first two years of the 500. But Iā€™ll be jumping in shortly after. And though I can get a roush, or modify a GT, etc. the 500 is special.

Definitely not a zero. We are pretty much guaranteed it wasnā€™t like 710 or 720.

Iā€™m pretty good with my fonts, so Iā€™m still sticking with a 0 (though itā€™s not that), a 6, or a 9.

Just based on the curve trajectory. Not absolutely sure of the font, but comparing it to helvetica, helvetica neue / now, future LT Book, Gotham, and Proxima Nova, the curves are very different for most numbers, but nearly identical on a few of them.

So Iā€™ll say 760+

This process is kinda fun, but also... annoying.

I'll play along. Gonna guess 760. That will put it 300 above the GT. Next will be guess the torque and weight

mm... Idk man. I feel like it'll be 730.
That's what my gut is saying...730 or 739.

With that said, obspsd seems extremely confident that it's higher...:inspect:
