Ill be home in Feb. and tax season will decide if I punt my 2016 and trade it off or not.

DCT transmissions are probably more affordable than they were back in the 2009-2014 era. So with that and a new pricing structure of a new body style they may not be limited to the XX% over the previous years model.

still holding out for a GT

pow pow!

Some of the details we’ve known for some time but the Lethal crew has confirmed the Predator engine is a cross-plane 5.2-liter V8 with a Eaton 2.65-liter TVS @ 12psi supercharger and 10:1 compression ratio.

We’re also hearing that Ford may have sourced the Tremec TR-9007 7-speed dual clutch transmission for a huge boost in performance and efficiency.

Predator engine believed to have low 700hp to the wheels

Low 700 to the wheels? In stock form, or is that after some love?

 

[Mook]

I'm assuming stock...since Ford themselves said 700+.

 

[ragingclue]

Yeah but I assume crank numbers from them, didn't think they were tossing out a wheel number.

700+ to the wheels is nuts. I get older and much slower every year.

This cars so long over due its basically a Roush 727 with a 5.2 and a 2650 tvs blower and headlights that are off a model thats 5 years old.

Its a huge mistake to use the old headlights IMO.

How are they going to explain hey the base 4 cylinder model gets the new 2018 front clip while the 2020 GT500 gets headlights off the 2015

Those renderings with the black middle section between the grills are disgusting. It would look way better and less Dodge like with the section body color.

Plus I cant get over the 2014ish 5th gen ZL1 hood vents gross.

Ford's designers would like to thank the design team behind the corolla for sketching the front end for the soon-to-come GT500.

More from this later.

ha weird of them to thank them.

This looks WAYYYYY better!!

Was told this rendering is damn near what it’ll look like, if not spot on

Take the best part of a GT350 out put a 5.2 cpc engine in with a 2650 tvs on it and slap an ugly bumper on it presto a GT500

Geezus that front ends ugly.

I cant get over using headlights from a car thats 5 years old on their halo mustang.

It's a RENDERING not the official photos.

There's a 0% chance of the old headlights be on it. Look at the renderings for design cues, not 100% looks

Tremec TR-9007

High-torque dual clutch transmission with performance mechatronic system provides a multi-mode, tunable launch for high-end luxury cars and sports cars.

Seven forward speeds
Modular design for rear-wheel drive (RWD), all-wheel drive (AWD) and trans-axle platforms
Torque capacity of 900 Nm (664-lb-ft)
9,000 RPM maximum input speed
Performance-oriented gear ratio spread
Integrated mechatronics

 

[Kensington]

"only" 664 lb ft of torque capacity? Seems like they'd be cutting that pretty close with 700+HP. Then again, with the cross-plane instake, torque may be down in the 500's.

Sure hope you are right them renderings with the old headlights and black section between the upper and lower grills is ass ugly.

Manufactures seem to use things that fit the OE needs. So not uncommon to see ratings close to the stock numbers.

That being said what is the limiting factor in it's power capability? The case, the gearsets, the clutch set up? If it is the clutch then it will be interesting to see what aftermarket units and installs will cost. I know GTR guys spend a lot of money to upgrade their transmissions to big power. I guess time will tell what happens.

Also, I believe transmissions are rated based on vehicle weight. A 5500+ pound SUV is going to add more stress to it than say a 4000 pound sports car. Since this trans is designed with SUV in mind, could the torque ceiling be higher in a lighter car?

Exactly, these aren't even spy shots or concepts. The headlights being the older version is a mistake by the person rendering the design.

Car will debut at the Chicago Auto Show.

Wait.....did you just call yourself out?

 

[Mook]

I saw the headline on one of the prominent mustang FB pages so figured I'd spread the gossip.
