Brilliant! Ford is spending minimal money and the internet and enthusiasts are keeping the PR going to promote the car. Free marketing!!!

You got the minimal money right. Enthusiasts are in agreement...enough with the games already. Release the damn guide.

The Demon reveal kept people talking at least just as much if not more and gave people something to look forward to week to week leading up to the actual reveal. That was the coolest role out ever. It’s too bad Ford didn’t do something similar. Would have been fun for all the Ford loyalists and car people alike.

You know what still gets talked about referring to the Demon? Its uselessness in anything other than modified rearends and on a dragstrip, and the fact no one has matched its claimed #'s

Or how "Demon gets walked by supercharged mustang GT/ fbo Corvette " or any other car, as i have yet to see them win races..

Jared from Lethal did a live feed this morning, and has talked to a few he knows personally I guess close enough to this car and he heard 720. We will see

720HP would be disappointing with the GT500 coming so late in the game and Dodge is already out there with the Redeye pushing 797HP.

Well maybe so, but sometimes it is more than just a hp #.. The car will be fast that is for sure.

720hp is still a lot.

You can’t feel 30hp at that point. It shows up as 1mph if that and maybe .050 at the drag strip. A sunny hot day vs cold dry day is worth 50-75hp in a car like this.

It’s hard to feel 30hp at 500hp.

Who here has had a car with north of 625whp, and really noticed a 30whp mod

I barely feel 50whp at my power level. Honestly going from 800whp to 1000whp doesn’t accelerate as drastically different as 400whp to 500whp does.

If the car consistently traps 133-137, and can handle/stop/go as well as assumed, it will be much closer to a mcLaren than to a zl1-1le around race tracks.

It looks like they want this one to stay cool, time will tell.

Well thats it, if its not 720, which I hope it isnt, lethal wont be getting any $ from me. I dont feed into blatant misrepresentation for revenue/view count schemes
