So itll be out a year from now, Plus another year of ridiculous ADM's. This car better be absolutely groundbreaking for them to delay it this long.

I hope it doesn't look like this. This photo was leaked about a month ago I believe.

If it does, Ford blew it IMO.

I'm pretty sure that it was it's going to look like Ray. I'm not sold on the looks 100% as well, yet.
I'll have to see it in person and/or better photos.

It looks like an afterthought. It drives me insane they used the 15-17 headlights and it looks like they just added a body kit. No thought or love that went into it. I don't care how good the motor is, if it's ugly I won't own it.

I don’t see it staying below 4000. No chance.

There is a shit ton more “stuff” baked into the s550 platform vs the s197.

I just started tearing down my 18 this week for the TT install and there is literally shit everywhere. Insulation, extra bracing, endless wiring and sensors for every GD thing. Mountains of plastic clips. Plastic clip hysteria actually. It’s crazy. I should post some pics.

All that said, the 500 will have EVEN MORE of the crap I speak of.

Kind of miss my s197 cars! Lol

This part sucks. The amount of crap packed into modern cars just packs on the weight. I would love to be able to buy a factory performance car that doesn’t weight 2+ tons. I want a modern version of the 2000 cobra r. Leave the heated seats touch screens climate control over weight plush interiors to the gt cars and please let me have the option for a super simple functional performance car. I know I sound old. If anyone needs me I’ll be outside yelling at the leaves that won’t stop falling.

The future is auto tho. There is no way in hell Ford would only sell this in manual. Just be happy manual is even an option.

Future is auto because no one wants to put the phone, coffee, cigarette, etc down to actually drive. They also cant manage to coordinate their foot and arm to bang gears. I'll take the stick version over the auto any day. Its personal preference though.

Isn't that exactly what they did for the 10-14? Exact same car as every model below it sans the hood and spoiler? At least the 07-09 had a different grill than the others.

Screw the future, I don’t care how much we advance, and how much better auto is over manual. I don’t drive manual because technology isn’t there or it is better or more efficient. I drive manual strictly for its unique experience. This won’t change with me and many many people.

This has been the longest roller coaster ride to a new model that I can recollect. And we're still a year away from the launch. Hell, we still don't know a lot of important specifics about the powertrain and drivetrain. Very hard at this point to get excited about the upcoming GT-500. I'll reserve comment until the actual launch, or until actual details and specifics are released officially.

Raptors are still close to $20k over out here. The GT500 will be beyond stupid.

No thought.... lmao they've been busting their ass on this animal by all accounts and the DCT I'm betting will be lights out. I don't see this car being a disappointment after all this time and development.
