And in case anyone is wondering who will be introducing the GT500...
A good read on him that popped up recently.
He's a big deal at Ford, but down-to-earth exec hides in plain sight
For those that don't know, Galholtra was put into his current position to replace Raj Nair.
Ford picks Kumar Galhotra to replace Raj Nair as North America chief
Yessir.I'm assuming those times are EST?
It will be interesting to see what changes will be made between the pre-production GT500 shown at the auto show on Jan 14 and the actual production GT500 that goes into production in the 3rd quarter of 2019.
Hot veeSome say the sc 5.2L will be swapped for a TT5.5L super-yoti. 10spd, and dry dump with 8 bolt mainz
Man I’d love to see a Widebody Charger HellephantImagine right after Ford's press conference and unveiling of the long awaited 2020 GT500 with all the speculation that came before it, the curtain comes up at the Dodge booth revealing the 2020 Challenger Hellaphant packing 1000 hp
.......... they've done it before View attachment 1543191
January 14th can't come soon enough

Look back thru the posts, you'll see where I posted it.
Can't name names, wouldn't wanna put myself in the position to not get future info (isn't that what others have said here about themselves?)
But the real question is do any of you "in the know" want to say the rotary shift dial isn't so or is that too much of a secret for you guys to post up? LOL.
DepWraith said:Supposed to make announcement in June.
I was told by an engineer to expect an announcement in June so I'm passing that along. I wouldn't say July unless I was told different.
5.0 with twin 62mm turbos...same one I've been posting for quite some time now (with the small exception where I was told by someone on here about a blown 5.2...I knew there were 2 motors concurrently in development, and that they were leaning towards blown 5.2 for cost cutting: but that changed when the demon was revealed apparently).
Ok, doubt all you want, just passing on info from an employee. Do you really think that SVT only works on one engine at a time? LOL.
It will be a 5.0 with twin 62mm...the delay was hard starting and oil consumption, along with keeping costs down.
I can't read this whole thread or the other one because it gives me the brain pain. I'll just say that virtually everything being argued about these last few pages has no basis in reality, nor did it ever.
There are some people in here being gaslit by low-level employees, who are then in turn wasting everyone's time repeating it.
I've gotten all my info directly from an engineer of the vehicle...guess he will have some explaining to do if he's wrong.
Look man, don't take it personally. I'm legitimately not trying to give you grief. I'm just telling you, whoever is telling you this stuff either is intentionally misinforming you, or they just don't know what they are talking about.
There's no need to post contradictory information debunking what you've posted. Time will do that, as it has with these announcement dates you keep being given. Bookmark this post if you'd like, and we can come back and discuss how wrong the information you've been given on powertrain, production dates, model year, etc is.
Summer released was pushed back due to design issues (hard starting and oil consumption issues) as I've already mentioned. (that's the first 6 quotes you posted).
5.2 with CPC? No way they get the supercharged power they want from a 5.2 at a boost point that carries a warranty. (7th and last quote)
No 2018? Ok, they will make it next year with a complete Mustang redesign scheduled for the following year...because that makes sense.
As for misleading their team members; if what I've shared isn't true, then YES THEY ARE. You don't even know who I got this info from and I can assure you this person would not give me false info.
Don't take it personally. I'm legitimately not trying to give you grief either. I'm just telling you, whoever is telling you this stuff either is intentionally misinforming you, or they just don't know what they are talking about...especially since you have nothing to share other that the word "no".
No, it wasn't.
4 to 6 weeks from May 29th.
6 weeks from May 29th = July 10th.
Today.
Add another to the pile. But we'll come back August 1st to revisit before the September 1st revisit.
I don't care who is telling you this stuff. If Jim Hackett himself is dialing you up to give you the inside scoop, he's doing it to mess with you. Was wrong, is wrong, will be wrong.
Ok, you win DBK.
All my info is completely wrong, wrong, wrong as you said and all your info, which is so secret the internet can't be told, is 100% correct.
Still funny that I can share info given from a friend and project employee, but yet nobody knows who that is and that you have the "correct info" from a project employee, but don't know how to share it without signing your name at the end of it.
Ever think that maybe you are the one that is being messed with on your inside scoop? Maybe because you have leaked info before other releases?
Exclusivity of the FPC is important for GT350.
I figured I'd just pop in since it's now October. Long way from that 4-6 weeks away announcement from back in May.
Someone once told me that, after independent testing, they thought GM's claim that the 10-speed was faster than PDK should be prosecutable as deceptive advertising...
FPC is important to GT350 exclusivity.
Uh, yeah, that's TOTAL bullshit.
