You know what - I'm loving my primitive 2013 six speed, dual clutch disc equipped, manual transmission & convertible top. Not to mention the largest V8 installed in any modern Mustang...oh did I mention it's relatively lightweight compared to you know what. With the simplest bolt ons and a very safe tune - 704 lbs. ft. of torque (or is it ft. lbs?) at 3750 rpm...not to mention whisper quiet 373's and a Gen2. Ha Ha - see you on the street...

Just having a little fun. Never mentioned the 2020. But - I'll have my top down just in case.

Man the 2020 does look fairly good, and Im sure it will drive and handle better. You cant outshift the auto trans, etc., BUT, I love my six speed manuel and I do think I would go for the new vette over the new shelby if I were gonna get rid of my 2103... Im just sayin’

Bang the dial! Bang. It..
LOL! :D

In a GTR-ish way, perhaps.

I'm with @efurlong's and @COOL COBRA - happy with my primitive '13 and zero desire for an dial-o-matic '20 on which many will pay outrageous markups for what Ford permits them to order (rather than the options they actually want). :rolleyes:

LOVE the look of the 2020. It looks sleek & menacing ! But I'm not assuming it will be faster, especially on the street, than a modified older model GT500. Many of the folks on this forum are making BIG Power.

Ford just needs to end this and release all the stats and start having these cars instrumented tested by the big car mags. Then we know where it stands compared to its competition.

It's not brain surgery...…………..just f-ing release the info Ford AGAIN for the last time (but I know in the next 2 weeks the next info to be released is *how many turns lock to lock and the turning circle* (if it isn't released already).

Exactly. We already know that the turning circle is greater than an RV......

With the recent release of 2020 GT500 curb weight, I'll just leave this here........
