Then in that case they would prove that their word means nothing.Lied is a strong word, things change all the time, at the time he made that statement it could have been 100% true
Indeed.....although I'd have thought that employees in such an "inside position" would be told to be very careful what they say on social media.I hope she doesn't get in trouble eventually for leaking as she appears to be going the extra mile of trying to get information.
next 5.2 will be cross plane crankshaft
read her comment to her post, 5.2 FPC
We could assume that, if the Voodoo continues, it would do so in its current state......so the next 5.2 (not necessarily Voodoo) could well be a CPC (two speciality engines being built concurrently, 5.2 FPC Voodoo, and a 5.2 CPC)I read it and it will not be FPC.
Haha...first thing that came to mind as well.Then I want to re-negotiate my R ADM ;)
Either way you get an awesome car for a descent price and the value of the GT350Rs especially, will probably climb very nicely. Not exactly the same, but look at the Ford GT gen.1 cars, they have tripled in value the last 10 years.Haha...first thing that came to mind as well.
:doh:
It's limited production / edition.....just kidding.
:headbonk:
They specifically said the Voodoo would never be offered in their crate motor program to keep the engine forever exclusive to the GT350. They are soon going to offer the Aluminator XS though, which is a 5.2 CPC motor with the Cobra Jet intake manifold and a few other tweaks that puts out ~580hp.They are supposed to start offering the Voodoo crate motor sometime soon, I heard Raj Nair say so a while back. I'm sure the price will keep it somewhat exclusive, but it could be put in anything, Voodoo Pinto anyone? I know that would be stupid, but anything is possible. What would be awesome is a Factory 5 Mk4 roadster with a Voodoo, they would seem to be meant for each other, but I don't have a GT350 nor have I paid a big ADM on same.
I'm aware of the FGT values and don't think the R will trend in that direction. It wasn't the reason I bought the car. For me, I like exclusivity in my vehicles and making more makes it less special IMHO. Disappointing to me if they lied (or things changed).Either way you get an awesome car for a descent price and the value of the GT350Rs especially, will probably climb very nicely.

I also heard no FPC crate motors.... Time will tell.They specifically said the Voodoo would never be offered in their crate motor program to keep the engine forever exclusive to the GT350.

Indeed.......I bet Mr Pericak regrets some of the comments he made in the very early days of S550 development about it "hitting weight targets". Everyone assumed that meant it'd lose a tonne of weight, when that wasn't what he meant at all. Probably just one reason they seldom talk officially about future products.This is all a very good example of WHY they don't announce plans too early (and other reasons) - If you tell someone early what your plans are, then you are accused of deception when your plans change. Why would they make themselves less flexible in decision making by putting ideas in the heads of consumers WAY in advance?
