To all those that said Ford couldn't and wouldn't. You should be ashamed of yourselves. "Only in fairytale land would Ford make a 5.2 FPC, it defies physics...."

Man I knew there was a magnetic ride coming soon.... go figure it's in this one... nice!

I think the grille fangs don't work as well on the GT350. It would look so much better with them removed.

I agree, it makes me think of the new Lexus design in the front. I despise Lexus road appliances and the majority of their operators.

If it got a dsg down the line... like the r8.... will be incredible

Makes me feel good about my 15 gt, just bolt on,s and will be making more power than the gt350.

Yeah a bolt on hellion kit.

Well you don't know that for a certainty since they haven't released the final numbers yet.

Also, you can add all the power you want, but you'll never get the unique engine and total package this car provides from the factory. And you won't be adding a Magneride suspension to your GT either.

Hell, I could throw a few thousand into my 07 and make ridiculous power; it will still be a pimple on this car's behind.

Side panels are scalloped with vents, slightly modified hood (vents) and lower front fascia, not a huge visual change IMO. Not saying it isn't better just saying it isn't a significant change.

Raw power isn't everything, you know that right?

Ok, what's the point? 60k car with 70 more hp. Now if it was something like the gt500 hp numbers then id go for that. If the car was 50k , good deal but bet u over 60k.

You're in the wrong area of motorsport.

Does anybody else think the front looks like a Maserati mc stradale and the rear looks like a ferrari f430

I'm thinking < 4.0 seconds to 60 mph. I don't know about you, but to me that's really, really fast. Especially so for a car with straight-line acceleration being a lower priority. Can't wait to see it monster some race tracks.

The boss 302 could 0-60 in 3.9 - 4 second range this has a much better suspension better launch control and more power than that car this car will be sub 4 second easily how far under 4 will depend on the weight my best guess though will be 3.7

I'm sure it'll tear up a race track. But that's always why the manufacturers make these cars, for the collectors and the people that want factory ready racers. For the rest of us: there's full exhaust, tune, and intake that'll make the same numbers in a straight line.

Wait until you sit in it and see how it feels... This thing will shake like you wouldn't believe and won't be very comfortable. I guarantee it. Notice the "tech package"? Which gives you essentially everything in a Premium? That's because this was designed to be a track car, not a daily car. Think of it similar to a 2000 Cobra R or Z28 Camaro, those drivers may have bought those cars but they will tell you that it would grind on you to drive everyday.

The motor may run fine, but it will be bolted and structured into the frame. Look at a Ferrari engine bay, and those FPC are smaller displacement even. I am more curious to see how Ford dealt with the increased front weight from the structuring, unless they used a lot of carbon fiber type materials.
