I know this has already been posted in the general photoshop thread, but I think it deserved it's own showing here :)

SVT GT350

Well hers my guess for the GT350. Yup! Just a guess what the heck do I know?

It occured to me last night. With the rumors going around about a 5.2 L, I figured it out, it's not that unrealistic for SVT to offer 3 versions or configurations. You could call them stage's 1, 2 and 3 or whatever.

The basic premise is this. No FPC motor anytime soon. So here goes...

All Ford is going to do is upsize the heads for 5.2L on the current lower end and install the much needed forged pistons to go with the rest of the forged internials.

SVT GT350 stage 1= 5.2L, high flow exhaust like we've seen on spy shots and with the new exhaust numbers we've been seeing, that will put it about 485 HP. That'll take care of Challenger 392.

SVT GT350 stage 2 = 5.2L, Forged pistons, supercharged with 7-9 lbs. of boost for 725 HP. That'll take care of the Challenger HellCat and Camaro ZL1.

SVT GT350R stage 3 = 5.2L, Forged pistons, Supercharged with 7-9 lbs. of boost, 725 HP, 4 corner adjustable coil overs, larger oilpan and pump, ceramic rotors and pads, 18" race wheels. Game over for the Camaro Z28.

What do you think?

Interesting thoughts. I'm not sure the "Stage 2" would be the same power output as "Stage 3", though.

Understood! I was taking into consideration and being conservitive with boost and HP because of warranty and all that jazz.

I was figureing the stang 3 GT350R to be more of a track car with upgaraded suspension and braking to compete with the Camaro Z28 and repalce the Boss 302 LS.

But we could always dial up the boost. That'ed be fine with me.

I guess my primary upgrade and what I think was badly needed is the forged pistons and rings so we can SC this Mustang with a lot more confidence in it's longevity.

I like the thoughts. I'm hoping for a NA higher output motor. To me that's the draw. It worked for me on the BOSS. I Know it's not trivial, but a S/C just doesn't have the same compelling argument as a high reving NA motor.

Alas, I am returning to my patient waiting for the reveal. Thanks for presenting a theory.

+1

For a track oriented car, it really should stay N/A. It is very hard to make a good track car with a forced induction motor. The GT350 really should stay N/A and name a forced induction version GT500. Just my opinion. If Ford can make it supercharged and still 100% trackable without loosing performance from heat soak or overheating on extended runs, I'm for it. Just would prefer an N/A track car.

This image is the image that was describe by the poster who saw the car at the dealer show.

GTR style fenders ? Check
Fangs are not as pronounced ? Check
Spoked rims ? Check
Hood extractor ? Check

Also Topnotch battleship grey AT A DIFFERENT ANGLE is the same as this render....

HMMMMMMMMMM

Same here. I like the refinement of the new Mustang and the looks and the functionality of the IRS but the Mustang I want has to more than slightly outperform my Boss and the M4, it must be naturally aspirated. Here's hoping that flavour is added somewhere in the lineup.

I think we are forgetting the RT Scat pack.. Unless a gt350 will come strolling in at an identical price to the GT... It would be worthless to try to combat the 392.

All they need is a FPC version .. 475-500Hp N/A.

Then get the same motor.. Lower compression.. Crazy forged internals.. Boost it to 680-690hp with an optional 3.90ish to 4.10 rear and a set of 295s.

I would love to see if one of the rendering experts could make one of the cars with wider stripes, IMHO the GT500 or traditional width stripes get lost on this car.

680-690hp with 4.10 gears would result in endless wheel spin and a lot of lost races.

A 485hp Scat Pack Challenger at 4,200-4,300lbs would have a very tough time with even a mildly modded 450hp GT at 3,700-3,800lbs.
