Here is the link to the photos from Car and Driver. It states it is governed to 180 mph, and how Ford was 'embarassed' when no one could confirm the '13-'14 GT500's could hit 200mph as advertised.

Unless they know something I don't, they are talking out of their ass. Nowhere in this press release did Ford acknowledge that 180 was governed- Plus they misquoted the press release in regards to downforce so theres that.

 

[Stonehauler]

yeah, this is something I saw as well. Everything I had heard before indicated late 2019 (Q4), this indicates potentially release in Q3.

This car's competitors are running north of 200 mph.
Low tens in the quarter at around 138 - 139 mph.

Ford needs to step it up or step out if this is the best they're willing to offer.

On a positive note.
The looks are spot on.
Offering a S/C 5.2 homologates the Cobra Jet.

Nice to see that even Ford can't get the cobra emblem right.

(The graphics with text feature the emblem used on 2014 and earlier cars.)

Just confirmed with my contact at Ford- the 180 number is legit.

The air packed in has to get out. Ford played it safe.

"...low 3.0s to 60 mph and a sub-11.0-second quarter-mile..."

Who's running low tens? Demon does not count as that's a one trick pony designed to do one thing. Neither the hellcat nor the ZL1 are running low tens stock

That's closer to the info I have
