I agree Jim.
Anyone else frustrated with Ford over the next GT500?
- Thread starter biminiLX
- Start date
Looking forward to getting over this hump and on with the show.
I think what interests me most is what could have been. Your mind tries to rationalize how good things could have been were it not for "X."
The "not so good things" suck and I already hate them, whatever they are.
I'll drink to that.
Is there a firm date, issued by Ford, as to when the announcement about the new GT500 (or whatever it will be named) will be made? Or is the expected announcement in January simply coming through word-of-mouth?
In either case, what is the date in January that were expecting to hear? I've seen a few references to it but I don't recall seeing a hard date.

Hey guys...can someone summarize the news over the past 2 weeks? I don't want to weed through all the pages of people bickering
It's easy... Almost no one knows anything. Those "in the know" aren't talking and people who think they're special are making stuff up and getting called out by reputable people who actually know.
That's the sum of all 68 pages.
The crazy thing is, THERE ARE LITERALLY PICTURES OF THE POWERTRAIN IN THIS SUB. I mean, I don't know how much more specific you can get. If you have eyeballs, and you can use those eyeballs, you know stuff.
Awesome cliffs. But guys deep wraith has connections a knows lol.

A gentleman on another forum discovered what looks to be a bit of an error. Motorcraft mistakenly used CAD images of the GT500 engine instead of the GT350's engine in the connector location section of their online service site.
I found what he did and enhanced them for clarity.
Shows port fuel injection only (no direct injection) as reported earlier by an SVTP mole. No provision for a DI pump is shown such as what the 2018 GT's 5.0L engine uses. Flywheel may be a giveaway as well...

I hope this puts to rest the ‘I doubt it comes’ posts.
Probably gonna get a DCT as well. Now, just to find out how much weight it gains, how cool it stays on the track, how much power it makes while passing emissions. Don’t make 50 state compatible, leave out California and maybe we can gain another 100 hp

How much of an advantage would direct injection be on this setup? I know it allows higher compression, but since most supercharged engines run lower compression, I am wondering how much it would help? Maybe there is too little gain for the price and complexity?
I saw this last night as well and almost posted it here.
I'm sure there will be an automatic option. All the other brands are doing it with their high horsepower/torque cars.
That would be great Jim!

Whats the IMRC stuff about?
C2019 is particularly interesting...
but ya, IMRCs, didnt they learn their lesson with those on the 96-98 cars?

First mod I did to my S197 was to yank my charge motion plate butterflies out. Made my own delete plates out of the stockers. Its supposed to help with low RPM performance, but try having a small screw or rivet flow through your engine and let me know hoe that works out. Plus, even at WOT it messes up the airflow, causing too much turbulence.
I threw C2019 on there to see who actually pays attention and to track the images.
The IMRC connectors are there but I don't see the rest of the hardware for it.
Ok, so same shit different day. I really can't see this car being worth the wait. I just can't. It's gonna be cool for sure. But limited in numbers, HUGE ADM to get one, big power from Dodge and Chevy already out there. I can't imagine this thing will be faster in a straight line than a Demon.
Then buy something else. The Demon is a one-hit wonder. If it is faster in a straight line, great, but I’d like to see the GT500 be able to hit the drag strip or the road course, and I’m sure it’ll be capable of doing so.
