Stupidest Thing About 2020 GT500!

Except you can’t shift the DCT using the knob. A lever duplicates the functions of the paddles.

Ummm. I was responding to the knob who things a knob is a finger dildo.

Well at that point you’re just a peasant wishing for a sequential.

Well from what I read in one of the articles it says they are still testing and certifying the engines. To me that sounds like Ford is holding off to see what power they need to rate it at. Could be waiting to see what Dodge and Chevy release or they could be waiting to see how the car is received and how much everyone is going to complain about it having just 700hp.

A three pedal sequential isn’t rowing your own? Let’s tell all the pro’s they’re in bitch mode then.

How’d we get from the knob in the Gt500 to a sequential?

When you say a lever duplicates the function. The function is literally a push/pull for shifting down/up much like a sequential transmission. So in reality you’re asking for the functionality of a sequential, without the third pedal. Since this car won’t have a third pedal, aka the peasant sequential (as I have deemed it).

Pretty sure it's a pull/pull, one on each side. At least, if it's like every other paddle shifter out there, it is.

Yes for traditional steering wheel mounted DCT/automatic levers. But the console mount lever is push/pull and changes between manufacture on which motion does what.

What ranks #1 in the stupid column would be the guesses and judgements passed on a vehicle that no one has sat in, let alone driven yet.

Waiting on real world experience and results.

I've been driving a manual so long I honestly have no clue if I could accept a DCT. Ford will have to let me test drive one.

Didn't he say "over 750 hp" when they released it?

No, but he didn't say crank or rwhp either.

I wish.

The price of this GT500 is why I will quietly begin moving my way to a Camaro or Dodge if/when I want a factory monster. Somewhere along the line, post 2014 Ford all of the sudden thought they were a Ferrari manufacturer. I think the Ford GT got to their heads a bit.

11-12 GT500 with stronger rods and youre good to 1000 on the pistons and crank (per Mahle). Let the 13-14 value skyrocket. You can make an 11-12 faster for less money then. No need to go to the ladyboi's in Bowties or Dodge.

I did see one video where the Ford engineer said magnesium paddle shifters thou, no plastic.
