Are they leather or like lobster?

I would pretend they taste like lobster if I have to get them down!

just take some clarified butter with you, it'll help the shoe go down.

Great points, regarding the unnamed Ford potentially being the new Bullitt.

And, as someone else pointed out, they’ve done this before...even with Ford. In January of 2015, Ford announced the GT350R at the Detroit Auto Show, and then immediately turned around and auctioned off VIN 0001 at BJ within a few days; which turned out to be a 2015 50th Anniversary Model.

Maybe they’ll make an anniversary run of Bullitts since it’ll be 50 years...

...hmmmmmm

[machsmith]

LOL! No worries!

Speaking of HP, I have to say that I’m REALLY interested to see how the new GT500 stacks up against the Dodge Demon. As a tried and true blue oval fan, I’m afraid that Dodge just ate our lunch! I mean, the marketing lead up and owners crate were / are amazing...not to mention the car itself

it's not going to be a drag car and the demon is not the GT500s competitor. think bowtie...although it could be close to demon numbers, however, will be so much more of a car. think track not strip.

It’s a Bullitt. Steve McQueen went to Boys Republic as a teen

Dang, that's disappointing... I really hope the Bullitt is much more than just an appearance package, but I highly doubt it

Serious questions: A Demon makes a supercharged 808hp (non race fuel) with 376 cubic inches of displacement; a 5.2L engine (315 cu.in.) with the same specific HP would make 677 HP. With the HP numbers being talked about (>700), what about the anticipated GT500 engine would make it have this level of specific power? The Demon uses it's A/C circuit to assist in cooling the intake charge. Is it anticipated that the GT500 will use similar tricks?

Compare the naturally aspirated versions' specific output to get your answer. For instance, the Ford 5.0 makes 460 HP (92 HP/L). The Dodge 6.4 liter hemi makes 485 HP (76 HP/L). If the blown versions have a similar relationship.. the Dodge Demon 6.2 at 808 HP on pump gas makes 130 HP/L and the blown 5.2 Ford could make 157 HP/L = 818 HP.

I realize this is all fake math, but my real answer is that TiVCT works awesome, bro. :cheers:
