Rumor - The GT500 thread

[JN66]

Exactly right, ford didn't need to road test the GT4.
I hope to hell this GT500 is twin turbo. Built internally tough as nails. That way they can debut it with 725 hp to satisfy emissions and then sell certain keys for drag. Say 125 hp tune upgrade for 1k. I don't give a shit if it doesn't have the most HP or a drag strip king. I want it to be a great driving car #1 but also have the potential to be a beast with a tune. Would be nice if ford had the balls, but I just don't think that's in their plans. I'm expecting a 725 hp car at around 4,000 lbs.

725hp that is quality on the road and I am trading in my GT350R.

I did think that.......but there wouldn't be a need to test a GT4 on the road, or would there?

Unless it's a street version of the GT4? I don't know, just a wild guess.

Similar to GT350/R and GT350R-C.

Worth mentioning I think, both sounds very similar.

The video's are short but i don't hear any supercharger whine, the acceleration in the video is not very aggressive so not sure that you would hear any blow off from the turbo's but i don't hear that either.

Hahahahaaaa! Nah...I was just upset at the time man...just tired of this Bullpucky. I'm not a young fella anymore...my days are numbered. I'd like to at least hear about the thing before I go!

It shouldn't be much more than the ZL1...maybe 50 lbs. Hopefully it's less. Turbos and a 4.6 would drop it to below zl1 I think.

If you do email them......push them on info about a potential Mach 1, too

Paul,......just so it is known, I did email him this morning and hadn't heard back yet.
I just emailed him again.

10-4 thanks, we'll be waiting patiently on the side lines.

I saw in MCA January magazine Ford Nationals (June 2-4) is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the GT500. There was a comment in there that MCA has heard rumors Ford may have a last-minute surprise. Sorry if someone already pointed this out.

Nope...hadn't heard that (I'm not an MCA member.....it's rather expensive for overseas members). But that's good to know and gives us hope!

* It will be a MY2019
* You will see it first at the 2018 NAIAS
* Will go on sale in the summer of 2018
* Will not be a TT
* Will have a larger fixed wing on the back that you have seen in pictures
* Will beat the current GT350 around the track
* Will be an absolute monster

June, and it's still uncertain if they can sell a 2017.5. I imagine they will still release a limited number for the GT500's 50th Anniversary.

No TT...shit
It won't be over 800 hp...Maybe 755 like posted... what a drag.
Hope it's got the 10 speed and it will at least beat the ZL1 that is 2 years old at the time.

Honestly, 755hp in a RWD street car should be enough to accomplish a lot of trouble. 800hp would be fun for a set of tires but that's about it.

My 07 500 was fun to kick around once in a while but my 13 B302 was much better fun. My 16 R is just damn right and just damn ridiculous.
