Wait... the turbo 4v is still king...The new GT500 is out, there are still specs we are waiting to want to know about the car, so with that said IYO are both cars still at the top of the mountain or does 1 reign supreme over the other???

That's a bold statement. True; We shall see.The new GT500 will be the king of the hill, but the 13/14 GT500 will always be sought after just like the terminators.
I have no idea what you are trying to say OP. Fact is the 2020 GT500 is gonna out perform the 13/14 gt500 hands down. The 2020 will be king of the hill as far as mustangs go stock for stock.
What's hard to understand re: my OE posting??? Fact is we are still waiting on performance stats and the rest of the specs for the new car. It is too early to say as of right now that car reigns at the top.
If we divert for a sec and talk actual mountains, people climb Everest and some make it and some die. If the new car is actually going to sit at the top of Everest isn't the 13/14 still up there??? If the 13/14 gets dethroned it'll end up on K2, it isn't easier to ascend that hill vs. Everest people still try and die making the ascend to K2.
Back to the cars...…………...what we know right now:
Bigger engine in the 13/14
Still more OEM rated torque for the 13/14
Higher top speed 13/14
MT
Lighter weight
More hp for Predator
larger, more efficient TVS
DCT (X factor)
CF stuff
Better Aero (tech advances forward after a 6 year lull between the launch of the 2 models)
IMO Trinity is not going to be too far down from the top of Everest if the new car takes over it will always be there close to the summit.
The Predator is the current mustang king. The Trinity is the ultimate/king of the classic muscle car formula regarding mustangs. Big (by today’s standards) V8, stick, sra.
Pick your poison.
I'm interested in getting a 2020 GT500 once I see all the specs and the performance data, my 1 big issue is the weight and I am very interested in knowing what that will be. Are you getting one??? If I go it's all the way...…….full load CF TP everything except striping (was never a fan of that, solid colours work for me).
For me to get a 2020 I would need to can both my cars (current 13 and my Z06), I've done too many mods to the Shelby and still have mods sitting in the closet and currently not really in the mood to !mod the car before selling if I do.
I'm actually more interested in getting a C7 ZR1, but that's not happening as I can't find an allocation where I am because it's too late for one ordered to my specs.
So your opinion is the 13/14 is ultimate/king because is has a stick? And currently no 13/14 is considered a classic muscle car even in today's standards.
Because the 2020 technically has not been released to the public i would agree the 13/14 still holds the spot. But thats only for a few months and then it will dethroned pretty easy.
No, not because it has a stick, because it follows the formula. I mentioned it because it was the transmission used until the auto was proven better in racing. I didn’t say it was classic muscle car, I said it followed the formula of a classic muscle car. Will it become a classic? Most likely. With the data presented for the Predator it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out it will eclipse the Trinity. Being it has more power, more modern engine (Coyote based), bigger brakes, better suspension, better down force, and quicker shifting transmission. The only thing the Predator doesn’t have going for it is probably it weighs more than the Trinity. We won’t know for certain in that department until it’s official release. The top speed would go to the Trinity as well but I’d venture to say not many people do top speed runs as often.
Pick your poison.
All I'm saying is stock for stock the 2020 GT500 will probably walk all over the 13/14 GT500, except topend speed. Having said that, I still wouldn't sell my 14 GT500 for one.That's a bold statement. True; We shall see.

Other than top speed, the ‘20+ is going to outperform every SVT product ever.
Why would anyone think otherwise?
Technology and performance move forward.
