How Ford’s Niche Line Builds The 760 HP 2020 Shelby GT500’s 5.2-liter Predator V8

[Gotta Have One]

Cool video, and I echo that the music is annoying; warning, watch it on mute. Anyway, I'm curious what the QC process is for these hand built engines, as they didn't show any of that in the video. Very cool none the less.

Total agreement. Muzak was awful. I think just asking people what they drive or how long they've been at Romeo would've worked. Video was sweet!!!

Ron: I too would have preferred a live audio feed but I'm thinking that the sheer level of machinery noise prevented any audio recording,

There are a few layers involved in arranging tours at this facility. Without speaking on behalf of my REP contact, I will be happy to get you more information on the subject.
I have room for a few more attendees on Oct. 3rd., so if anyone is interested let me know.

Thanks again man, we are looking forward to it!

If you can be at REP on October 3rd, let me know.

I'm currently in Bahrain and won't be back in time. I only wish, but thank you for the offer. Gentlemen and a scholar...

What are they doing at about the 10min mark, the different colored lights

They couldn't afford dancing girls.

They couldn't afford dancing girls.

Haha, I’ll let you know if they have dancers, but I thought I read that light show is actually a quality control check on the sensors and tags?

It looks like the light show is for effect only.

Edit: It looks like the location is different. It may be part of the testing, but the light show could have been staged.

Earl: As always, many thanks for the images. Did you grab them from video or photos from somewhere else? I'm thinking they weren't from a video because they're not quite 1080. Just curious.

 

[Snoopy49]

They are from the video. They are 1920x1080 but for some reason they show as 1900x1069 when you click on them. I assume the website software is limiting their size.

Thanks, Earl..it WAS odd being off just a tad.
