DEARBORN, Mich., June 19, 2019 – Venomous strike: The all-new 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500 will produce 760 horsepower and 625 lb.-ft. of torque, making it the most powerful street-legal Ford ever – with the most power- and torque-dense supercharged production V8 engine in the world.

Enough said.

Very nice pics. Haven’t seen these open yet.
After recently helping with the install of a Gen 5 Whipple Cobra Jet top feed, there’s definitely similarities but differences. Good news it looks like the ‘18+ front feed/top cooler designs can adapt.
I like the runner length and assume an efficient single brick cooler.
Still, there’s always gains in improving the feeding of the rotor pack, so that throttle body and more specifically the cast TB to rotor ‘elbow’ might be where we see the best gains.
Either way, I just saw a ported 5.2 (these stock heads should be close or better) and 3.0 Whipple (usually compares to the 2650), make 1080rwhp on 16psi!
So if this DCT holds and you’re willing to up the boost, this Predator should kill it once you add octane!

It looks like if you were to up the Boost, you would need to replace the cast mounting bracket the Pulley fits over. It's hard to tell by the pic, but it looks like the pulley fits over that aluminum casting a bit. If so, a smaller pulley won't fit over it.
 
This just dropped as well:

Skip to around 2:10. Did I just hear him incorrectly, or did he for some reason say 760whp?


Pretty sure he just misspoke. A SC typically takes ~100HP to run, which means the engine is effectively producing 850ish hp (worth of heat as well).

The engine is rated according to the SAE J1349 standard, so it'll produce pretty close to the advertised number, with a couple % allowance baked in.
 
The interviewer did.

Then when the interviewee is speaking, I think he’s alluding to the fact that the engine makes 760 + XYZ HP to run the bower which puts it over 800.

That’s my guess but I caught what you were saying.

Still No 0-60 times, Weight, Ect. What the heck is going on with Ford? And comparing a BASE model Corvette with 260 h.p less than this Shelby. Wait until a Z06 or a ZR1 comes around.... OMG

Yea those certain specs being held back do bother me a little, but it is not rocket science to take both a 350r and base 350, add roughly 80lbs for a dct plus weight of s/c with the coolers. Should be 300lbs of difference is my guess.

Also good point, what many would want to worry about is a C8 Z06 version not a BASE. Many like to toot their own horn etc, but no way in hell this GT500 is slower overall to a Z51 C8.
 
Lol. I really don't see this as a big deal. We have enough info to know the car is fast. At this point does it really matter what it weighs?

I heard 760 at the WHEELS!!!!! And the motor produces more.
It’s 760 however is that at the wheels or at the flywheel? We will Soon find out.
 
Your responses are just stupid. Women completely different.

My point was, for those of us who actually ordered, not you, I don't think it would cause us to cancel our order if the car came in at 4100 or 3800. Sure we would take 3800 over 4100, but my point is this car is going to be phenomenal regardless of the weight at this point.

Of course we all want it to be as light as possible.
View attachment 1591271 Who cares about the weight! LOL....
 
Both videos stated the motor produces more power?

“Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?”

No one knows yet!!!

And both videos stated it makes 760 HP. How much horse power do you think it takes to turn the super charger?
