He didn't give anything specific first of all.

Secondly, no I'm not naming an employee who gave me the info, lol.
You side stepped the question, you were saying if DBK has info just tell us. You say you have info, so just tell us. Some other guy in this forum mentioned the rotatry knob a year ago, you had no insider info, you wont say a name because you know that when you say it was John Mcrotaryknob. Dbk will call you out.

So you're saying that a Tremec seven-speed dual-clutch transmission is not an automatic transmission and say I don't know shit???

I laugh in your general direction.

Dude, sorry I missed the sarcasm. I was in the middle of responding to several other posts. I do see that now. Truly sorry. As I look at the car you posted, I def think it was quite funny.

All good my friend. We are not professional writers, so sometimes the meaning/intent gets lost, which is why I figured I missed the mark on being funny.

He said everything that was going to be on it. And he said this two years ago. Let me ask you this? How did he know everything with such certainty that he’d wager you his $2,000,000(fair market value) GT?

@DepWraith start the video at 3:08 and pay attention.

Holy shit is that brutal.

I mean beyond the fact he's literally in public saying we knew were doing a DCT from the beginning, and we knew were were doing a supercharged 5.2L from the beginning, I don't even know what else I can say. I guess he's a liar, and I'm a liar.

Can we be done with this now? Please? The truth is, I can't even remember when that shit started. I was so invested on what was going on with Ford GT starting in 2013, I barely paid/pay attention to GT500. I'll say this; in the gestation period for the "idea" of this gen GT500 years and years ago, it was not this...but it also absolutely, 100% was not what DepWraith was being told it was either. Lotta ideas never become reality in the auto industry.

This GT500 is very much a Raj and Dave car. Those dudes are in it to win it. Period. Yes, some planned bits went away, but it's a super expensive program (by the standard of the usual specialty Mustangs) that absolutely, 100% zero chance would have happened but for timing and the involvement of those two people. Dave left to direct unibody vehicle engineering long ago (and subsequently moved to yet another job) and Raj is long gone to MM. Make of that what you will.

@biminiLX Solid thread bro. I'm having a great lime. LOL

In all seriousness though, now that the car has been revealed, I highly doubt I am going to buy one.

Generally speaking, I am not a huge fan of the looks. However, I thought the same thing about the 2015 S550 before I saw one in person. So, I am trying to hold off on judging appearance until I see one first hand.

The big thing for me is, I already have a heavy IRS, big HP/TQ auto car that runs 10's and can run laps. I don't want to buy another one just because it's got a Ford or GT500 badge on it. If I didn't have the Challenger Hellcat, I would really give it some serious consideration, though.

I think I am going to wait for the car to be released and see if I can score GT350R that someone want to dump so they can get the GT500. I really liked my GT350... but it was a Tech car. I think an R will be a bit more fun.

The brutal part about it, the guy can not except his words did not come true.

He’s perfect and can not be wrong. What’s that commercial, must be true if it’s someplace on the internet! Haha Crazy really!

Are there any pictures of the GT500 in any other color besides the ones seen in the unveil?

I'm probably going to get some kind of ban for this, but can you all SHUT THE **** UP and talk about the car. I'm tired of this DepWraith shit.............
There are plenty of threads talking about the car, go to one of those. This is now about DickWiggle getting his just deserts.

Dave, can you speak to Jamal's involvement as well? I noticed his name shows up on the Magnesium STB but know little else as to his influence on this one. You mentioned Raj and Dave and I greatly respect the efforts they put forth. I feel bad about how this team or "group" was broken up, what happened with Raj, and that Jamal left. They sure did produce some kickass rides and had a really good thing going.

The orange is unique. Green is too neon. View attachment 1544478View attachment 1544479

I really don’t understand why anybody would complain about this car. To me it’s absolutely freaking perfect. Donely thing I would’ve preferred is a turbo set up versus supercharger. Besides that, it seems to me like they have built the ultimate Mustang!
These two colours are in sane.
