As long as the new GT500 has gobs of power and torque, great looks/performance and can topple the Hellcats and new ZL1, I'll be happy. And in line to order. lolYeah, I don't think ford is going to try and top the demon. I think they make an auto 5.2 CPC supercharged with 755 hp, which nudges the ZL1. Will be a fun car but not something I would need to have over something else.
Would be great to see them build a demon destroyer but they make the cobra jet and they probably feel this is good enough. Would be nice if ford would bring something extreme, but just don't see that happening.

Yes sir.The looks department is huge for me as well. If I don't care for how a car looks, then it doesn't matter how fast it is because I'm not out racing every weekend anyways.
That's one thing I can say about the GT500s at least from a subjective point of view; they look better to me than the Challengers and Chargers. I like the "looks" of the Hellcats, but nowhere near as much as I like the look of a Shelby. Again subjective, but that's what keeps me in my current car.

Looks like that's the route I am going as well. Although, I did write to VMP about building my car up. We shall see.I keep waiting for Ford to announce a new GT500 that will top the Hellcat and the 17 ZL1 with 10 speed auto, but not looking like anything is going to happen for another couple years. I've had the Hellcat for nearly a year and really like it, but would trade it for a twin turbo 5.0 GT500 with 10 speed auto without a second thought.

Thanks Marc. I appreciate the info.You really can't go wrong with a Hellcat. Had mine for 10 months now, and I still love it as much as day 1. The hard part for some is making the choice to move away from the Mustang or not.
The A8 is a nice trans, too. In street mode it's super smooth and in track mode, it has quick, crisp, solid hits... including rev matching during hard braking and manual shifting.
Thanks Marc. I appreciate the info.
Sounds like a killer car. I drove a Challenger SRT8 years ago and really liked it. Sitting in the driver's seat felt like a cockpit. Pretty awesome.
I would go wit the A8 as well. I like the manual, but with the modern day automatics and paddle shifting/downshifts, it's pretty fun as well. Without a clutch! lol
If no GT500, I might go that route.

LOLCockpit of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner....
Yeah,...there's ton of speculation going around. I guess we will just have to wait "patiently". lolNP. Glad to help.
I have to say, the more credible car rags are saying that the new GT500 will be a turbo 5.0. That would be a great cart, but unless there is some other magic (like it's a better, blown GT530R) I can't see be getting excited about it. Especially since I can just boost the shot out of my GT350.
LOL
That must be one fast Boeing!
