Chicago is where SVT vehicles have traditionally been introduced, starting with the 93 cobra and Lightning.
I'm betting NAIAS is the debut for the GT500 or Cobra and that the Bullitt Model bows in Chicago. Why would you film it in Chicago on Lower Wacker if you weren't going to launch it there. Discuss among yourselves.

Look a few pages back. A credible source on here said no.

help, but it’s no where going to be close to the HP output.
Hey, I want it to be, but this thing is going to be a track car and it will go against reasonable cause to give it huge torque, even if they could.

Edit: Any links to anyone that has dropped a 2650 on an aluminator XS? It’s not going to show what Ford is going to give us, but I would like to see what’s possible with it. Ive seen 1000hp 850T before.
I have a feeling after we get this thing passed by the California emissions it may have 50hp and 15 torque
Don't look at the factory number, look at potential.
NA power doubles with 15psi, and we already know the 5.2 Aluminator makes 570hp I believe AND that 2650 can supply 15psi to a 5.2, so 4-digit potential is totally capable.
Neuter it with OEM regulations to 700-750hp and we can still make more. But then again, that's power potential. We need a rotating assembly and block integrity for big power.
Still, who wouldn't want 750-800rwhp in a GT350 based platform?

Then I'll defer to credible sources on the Bullitt reveal and sorry if i didn't catch the post on the car (Bullitt) being shown there.

Are they already setting up Cobo for the NAIAS? If so we need someone on the floor to give us updates.....

The WAIT is killing me. I have my order in with my dealer and we talk every two weeks. The key is do i sell my 03 in order to get this or keep it and look for more storage. I'm already the "fleet manager" for our families 6 vehicles. Two of them will be gone next year but I only have a 3 car garage. May need to look at lifts!

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. God I really feel sorry for all you guys. You literally are all stuck with no info, no clue, speculating for years...Every day I check back here....71 pages of nonsense. When the hell is Ford going to actually join the party Dodge and Chevy started? Seriously. How many years of "waiting" will be worth it?

Chevy is offering $20k+ off of Corvettes, you should snag one up!

I guess I've never really understood the bitching about the car taking so long. GT350 essentially came out as an MY16 car. It's MY18 right now and you're gonna see new shit soon. Meh. I think this is just evidence that Facebook and Twitter and society in general have re-wired the human mind to have complete and total A.D.D at all times. We went 6 years between GT2 RS variants, 5 years between GT3 RS variants. Big deal.

It's also super ****in weird to me that people are a) so bad at reading between the lines and b) bad at even looking direct information staring them in the face. If you throw out the obvious bullshit, the reality of what the next high-performance Mustang would be has been floating around for a while, except for really one thing, which really blows me away so many people continue to get wrong. Then, some ****o even posts pictures of some of the shit on the internet, and dimwits are STILL arguing about it. I mean, I don't know what to tell you in that case. If you've actually seen parts of the car and you still sit around saying "we know nothing," I'm sorry, you're an idiot.

I also don't get why people are pissy about Bullitt. It's just more shit to help pay for the good toys.

The weird thing is the 6G watermark. They did that with the gentleman that discovered the error on Motorcraft's site and then posted the images he had. The ones I posted were mine and were only posted here.

There is no way a 5.2 liter engine will come close to 800bhp with a super charger. Dodge has a 6.2 and huge 2.7 litre super charger to do that. FAIL.
