How will Ford release Power/TQ numbers?

[franklin9150]

How do you think Ford will release the hp/tq numbers of the S550? Is it typically done through a press release? Or will it get leaked and then "officially" released by Ford? This is the first new car launch I have followed so closely, so I don't have any prior experience on how they do it. What do y'all think?

Oh lord, the would paint themselves as the hero again. That press release may read like this:

"with the new Mustang GT making only 305 HP, it's up to us here at steeda to make sure this American legend lives on and enjoys the success it deserves and the world remains in harmony. We will be working in a turbo kit right after we rescue these starving puppies, these people trapped in burning buildings and fix the health care system. We at steeda are also working on a cure for cancer, a + 15 HP window sticker that also increases mpg and a better business model for blockbuster "

P. S. That is a FAKE press release, including the HP number , please do not take it seriously! For laughs only!

I think that they'll announce it at the Woodard Dream Cruise. I have no good reason for that, other than timing is pretty coincident with Job1, and that's a great venue for talking smack about performance...

Numbers will be released after magazines get the cars and put them on dyno's at this point.

I sure am tired of them keeping us in the dark. It gives me time to shop around. Saw that a dealer near my house has 2014 GT premium track pack cars for $31,400...

Which sounds like a great idea until a 2015 pulls up beside you and you're instantly reminded that the 'brand new' car you just bought is already outdated and has a year more depreciation on it... ;)

The problem with that is that magazines might get the #'s first; but they will use their outdated model of communication and you won't see numbers until the magazine hits the stands months after the car is in owner's hands.

I'm betting we don't see #'s until an owner, without an agenda, gets one and puts it on a dyno and scale.

Ford has no reason to withhold the #'s as any competing company can guess the HP/TQ/weight within 5-10% and it won't have any affect on their future vehicles.

The numbers will be written on the shell of the world's slowest snail, which will be sent on a mission from Ford HQ to the furthest news agency in the US.

First falconer to retrieve the snail wins!
