Not sure if anyone noticed but Ford has been tweeting the puzzle pieces of the horsepower. Released 2 pieces so far.

Like nails on a chalkboard, we've noticed.

On deck....guess how many men Richard Simmons has slept with and Ford will announce on Twitter how much this car weighs.

Well shoot was thinking 747, that looks to be a zero. So 760 is my guess.

I’d be curious how “easy” it is to get a 750hp 5 liter car 50 state legal

Then again the Koeniggsegg and others have done that and much more

i recall ford had a heck of a time getting the trinity to meet N0x emissions at 662hp. I dont see how it will be "easier" with higher power density. That heat has to go somewhere.

The bugattis, koeniggseggs and others are low production hyper cars. You can almost rest assured that these dont hit emissions targets. Alot less trouble to just buy offset carbon credits from another manufacturer. FCA buys a crap ton of them from tesla.

I’m guessing 760hp.

Power dense means hp/l in my opinion.

Zr1 is 755hp 6.2L+2.65L so 93.0hp/L

Demon is 840hp, 6.2+2.7L so 94.4hp\L

I think 760hp. 738hp would mean 94.0hp/L

So by that, 750hp or 760 or 780 or 790 but knowing the alleged insider banter leaks say 740 was hard I’m guessing 750. Gut hunch is 760hp though.

I’ll say 760hp for 2 reasons.
1. Beat Chevy on paper
2. The speedo on the gt press image showed 4 55 and the car ended up at 460hp. The gt500 showed 7 55 so 760 could make sense.
