It's not any more than the last gen is what I said.

Big brakes, check
Torsen, check
Extra coolers, check

All checked off on the 13/14 too.

Well then, the 13/14 GT500 is no more track focused than the Model T

Wheels, check
Place to sit, check
Steering wheel, check

Man has gone to the moon, but haven’t improved on cars...wtf

Anyone that questions what DBK posts is a fool. He is connected on every level. Not connected just with "an engineer". He will never compromise not a source, but the PROGRAM and Ford as a whole. Anything that is posted is fact.

As for numbers on the car? Ill bet nothing is announced. As for weight? I would bet nothing is ever released formally, same as the NGT. It will take someone like me to get it, and put it on the scales.

Did I tell ya all how much I love adjusting the knob for my headlights at night in my F150. I sure hope the GT500 has one. Maybe even twin turbos. Will be live streaming tomorrow. @DepWraith just eat crow window licker.

Lets see...

13/14 had torsen.
CF wheels are option.
IRS standard on every Mustang.
DCT...many would say manual is more track friendly.

So yeah, good try.

Who says a manual is more track friendly?

Different suspension geometry to aid in turn in... Thats not track friendly? 305/315 tires?

Jeez dude


GT500 had always been the "big dog" hp monster to take to strip...GT350 is the track car. Blowers are not very road track friendly.

Or jaguar and the f-type, the zl1 camaro, z06 vette... Zr1 vette...

Some of the pictures of the car show different details, front bumper black, front bumper red, fender under head light different in 2 of the pictures. It looks like there were at least 2 different cars in the brochure.
Standard and track pack

No offense guys but you two should start a separate thread for your arguments. DBK VS DEP. Seriously it's getting old.

I am 100% in agreement. I have no interest in continuing beyond pointing out what a colossal waste of time literally every single post he made over the past 3 years about this car was, in the slim hope of discouraging him from doing so in the future. (unsuccessfully)

I understand. I meant nothing bad by it. You were correct on your info. You cant change him. Like you said not worth the efforts.
On the other hand..I cant wait to see this car!

This thread should fade away after tomorrow anyway. The topic is no longer relevant now that we know how awesome the GT500 is.
