[The Beast]

Personally I don’t give a damn I’m not in the market for gt500, hellcat or zl1

Exactly I just cant be excited for this. IMO smart money is a TT GT350 instead.

Edit. And Fords Marketing department sucks.

Smart money does not go to a gt350, lol. They depreciate 20% in the first year, have a manual trans, and are built for the road course. Either the turbos would be wasted at the track, or you turn it in to a quarter mile car which isn't what it's made for

I would rather see a late launch than rushing to deliver a steaming turd with major issues.

Instead, we will get both. lol

I didnt mean new. But its not a good idea to go down the but but new vs used gt350 vs gt500 so ill just leave it alone.

Was just my 2cents if i was spending that kind of coin its be a used TT GT350

Why not just a regular gt and turbos? Not like 1000whp is really that useable on the street anyway

 

[Pressure Ratio]

Because he wants the flat-plane crank sounds. Which the turbos probably tone out much of anyways.

100% agree

 

[Blood on Blood]

Ford keeps pushing back the build dates

Must be a steamy pile

I wonder if it is a parts supply problem. Last year the automotive industry was fighting major parts and material shortages. Some of it was driven by an increase in demand, and part of it was due to tariffs.

 

[The Beast]

I have mine in stock

 

[Tight Lines]

Personally I think there are DCT issues thats just me.

I have read the same thing.

should be alot more info tuesday after ban is lifted.

They have gone quicker than that. The average Joe might not be able to run as quick. But 10.6 @ 133.

10.6 @ 133 the trap impresses me more than the 10.6 that thing needs a proper rear tire bad.

133 is on par 675-700whp in a car that heavy

Here is a video of that pass. Evan Smith is a LONG time NMRA & NHRA racer and record holder. So I'm sure racing the car all day they played with tire pressures, shift points, and so on. But that day ripping of 10 second passes was happening with everyone.

And ya, I'm going to guess the power numbers are a little conservative from Ford.

 

[The Beast]

Guess the transmissions aren’t busted

 

[Pressure Ratio]

Well not yet at least.

3500' DA too according to the link above. There's probably a lot left in the car with good DA. It will be intersting to see what they run on the east coast tracks in cooler weather.

Supposedly from M6G they were not allowed to change tire pressure or anything else.

I said on M6G 1st thing id do is drop tire pressure and people freaked out Bahhhhh But Butt Butttt you cant do that!!!

 

[GTPpower]

That's a 10.3 car at a decent track. And basement 10's at Atco or even faster.
