2020 Ford GT500 Unveiled

[Blood on Blood]

Free advertising? Your super shitty unveiling still has people talking about the car

More of Ford’s half ass ways

Ford’s unveiling was Sad


GT500 out accelerating a Red Eye, let alone out handling a ZL1, will need to be seen.

Not a great unveiling, but honestly who gives a shit in the grand scheme of things? If the car is a great performer, are people gonna go back and think about the unveiling and about Dodge supposedly laughing?

Does the Red Eye even have any official numbers yet?

 

[Yaj Yak]

when the hellcat shit came out, "non-car guys" were talking about it.

that crowd has no idea this car is anything.

that's why ford's marketing is a fail.

Hey, spend a bajillion dollars like Dodge did on the Hellcat/Demon/etc, or spend basically 1 tenth of that? People are still talking about the GT500, and in all honesty, the people that'll actually be able to afford the car probably don't give a shit how good or bad the launch was.

dodge spent a bajillion dollars to market a car they spent twelve dollars to engineer.

ford spent a bajillion dollars to engineer a car that everyone's bitching about the headlights of and twelve dollars to market

 

[Jeffs FRC]

Also - folks are focusing on Ford not realsing pricing, HP and TQ as if it is some big secret.

They have been placing advertising games, hyping up a vehicle that is no better than what competitors are putting to the market.

Being no better than the competitors has yet to be seen...lol

I don't think Ford cares that "non car guys" aren't talking about it, if that's even true. My Facefuck feed is BLOWN THE FUCK up with shitty gt500 unveiling...lol.

 

[Yaj Yak]

yeah but that's cuz you're a ferd nutswinger and have ferd nutswinger friends.

That may be true. But isn't it a success that this car is being talked about even if only "car guys" are talking about it? Non car guys aren't buying it so who cares?

Ford probably spent just as much on engineering...it's basically a GT350 with a slightly larger displacement Coyote and a Roush, errr Eaton Supercharger slapped on. Aside from what looks like some slightly new body panels, a trans they didn't design, some bigger brakes, everything else looks off the shelf from other cars.

And they will still sell every single one they can make.

but non car guys buy hellcats.

the dude two units over in my work building comes to mind- old guy who ordered a purple charger hc when they were unveiled, and now has a trackhawk also... gets a boner from doing holeshots in the parking lot and nearly taking out curbs.

that crowd, the crowd that has more cents than sense, doesn't know that the gt500 is unveiled.

 

[Yaj Yak]

And they will still sell every single one they can make.

i mean, what you just said goes for any car made ever

 

[Blood on Blood]

Chief engineer explains not providing HP/TQ as of yet and headlight design
Also, looking at the motor and transmission

So you know of 1 non car guy that bought a Hellcat? Do you think there might just possibly be a gt500 sale or two to a "non car guy"?

i mean, what you just said goes for any car made ever

Exactly, so who cares what they spent on their unveiling? lol

it was just a simple example that came to mind.

i mean, this unveiling is weak, that undeniable, who cares- likely ford.

It’ll produce decent numbers, Chief Engineer stated they are still working on power.

Folks are already buying and driving the Red Eye.

Being no better than the competitors has yet to be seen...lol

Curious how much Ford cares about performance in general

And they will still sell every single one they can make.

I don’t think this car needs marketing to sell them. How many will they produce?

 

[Yaj Yak]

i agree with that as well.

 

[Jeffs FRC]

I don’t think this car needs marketing to sell them. How many will they produce?

As many as they can because they will sell as many as they can make even with this horrible unveiling...lol

What are bone stalk Red Eyes running in the quarter?

 

[Yaj Yak]

14.2s

 

[1quick]

10.8 I think is the fastest I’ve herd of

 

[Chet Donnelly]

I took a marketing class in undergrad (was a required elective to be in the college of business)...and I can confirm this is horrible marketing. Fucking horrible!

 

[Jeffs FRC]

Ford states under 11 seconds for the gt500. So tentatively as fast as a Red Eye and we all know what would happen on a course.

 

[Blood on Blood]

Going to take Performance Shops to get their hands on the GT500 and modify it to the state in which it should be produced from the factory
