Rumor - The GT500 thread

[91z28350]

Wonder if the new 5.2 aluminator is a preview of things to come for the GT500? Obviously if FI it would need a lower CR, but there is a lot to like about that motor.

2021 i think you have lost dude it's not like Ford can't put out a GT500 and a MACH 1 at the same time :lol:

Huh? I was posing a scenario that I said I would be shocked to see. Go back and read the post I was quoting.

Of course we can see a Mach 1 and GT500 at the same time. I think we will for the 2018 MY. I just don't agree with Mustangchief that the 350 will continue until the end of the S550's life. I'm betting on a 3 year model run.

I'm thinking the next gt500 will be in the 725 to 760 hp range with mag ride, have a very agressive front end and will utilize lots of carbon fiber and aluminum to keep weight under 3800 lbs. I don't think it will handle as well as the GT350 but it will be so much faster on a straight it will make up for its corner losses. I imagine it will be faster around a track than a gt350 but more sloppy however factory ten second car in the quarter.

At least that is what I hope it might be.

No reason it can't dominate on track AND Strip. Won't have the same heat soak issues as a supercharger.

I hope so. I had zero interest in the GT350 from the get go, as I am a straight line speed guy. To hell with turns.

Ecobeast 5.0 with 10 speed auto option, magna ride, exhaust modes etc.

How cool would that be.

I second that as I'm a light to light/quarter-mile gear-head. Ford needs to produce a Hellcat killer IMO. It's all about the H/p & torque numbers to me!

I'm on board with you guys. They can't bring a 750HP Mustang soon enough for the meat eaters.

We are almost two months into 2016 and no word from Ford about a GT500. Maybe there is no GT500 in the works.

Patience. It is coming.

What makes you think there will be a GT500 ?

History.

Ya,but Henry Ford once said that history in the automobile industry is bunk. In other words , you must look in the future and come up with new products.
