    Car landed and got some extra goodies

    A GOOD shop can fix that no problem. Walking to get another car seems risky, may get one with similar issues, may not get one for a long time, given shut downs etc.

    Anyone else frustrated with Ford over the next GT500?

    I agree, I should hope 5 years after the debut of the "R" that they could buy as many wheels and wings as they want to. Seems like it's plenty of time to ramp up production. I know it's CFR not Ford making the wheels, but 5 years is more than we were in WW2, and look how many bombers came out...

    Anyone else frustrated with Ford over the next GT500?

    When the "Anyone else frustrated with Ford over the next GT500?" is at 6035 posts, you know Ford has an epic fail on their hands. I second everything TOB has said. These unobtainium cars are just a frustration. Coupled with the epic fail that is naming an electric SUV "Mustang", I'm really...

    Does that mean what I think it means? 527 and 690 are at the dealer and or picked up?

    Anyone else frustrated with Ford over the next GT500?

    DCT is a wildcard. I like driving a manual with no auto blip or other driving aids and trying to get downshifts right. BUT, that video of I think it was Treynor, driving a GT4 DCT at an HPDE did look like fun too.

    GT 500 Details

    My questions that I hope you could "guess" answers to: 1) I see there is Carbon Fiber "track pack", I'm assuming that has sport cup tires. 2) Will the carbon fiber "track pack" be production limited like the GT350R, or will anyone be able to get one like the track pack on the 13-14 GT500. 3)...

    If the GT500 is $85,000 are you in or out?

    The other forum GT350 section has a lap data thread.

    The C7 debuted about 9 months before the S550, and GM has the next generation, on a new platform with a different layout, out running around the ring, before Ford completes what amounts to adding a blower and associated hardware. You really think watching the car putt putt around is comparable?

    Unbelievable we can see video of the mid engine C8 running around the ring, but still nothing on this car.

    If the weight and HP are true, it will all come down to how the DCT affects the performance. I don't know enough about the real world performance differences between a torque converter auto trans vs a DCT to make a guess of it's 1/4 mile.

    Please tell me this is fake news...

    Listen you stupid ****, EVERYTHING today starts with a 3D model. If Ford released their 3D model as a render, it's what the car will be. As pointed out earlier, whether it's a photo or not is irrelevant.

    Sounds good, if this is really it.

    Interesting, I hadn’t seen that video before. Pictures seem relatively new. Same ones on Motor Trend http://www.motortrend.com/news/2020-ford-mustang-shelby-gt500-spy-shots-offer-best-look-yet/

    Anyone else frustrated with Ford over the next GT500?

    Have you been on a track and used a data recorder? I could give a flying **** if it has the latest greatest camera technology. All I want is to see where i am on the track and the data. Aftermarket options are a pain in the ass to mount, make sure they are running, to integrate with non OBD...

    Amen to all, especially the data recorder, CF driveshaft and the stereo.

    Demon Owner Who Should Have Waited for GT500...

    Down the road, not sure how many years exactly, I think all cars that don't drive themselves will be pretty much worthless. Further, how hard is it going to be to maintain/track cars from this era decades from now? Will you be able to buy a headlight or tail light if you need one? Every car's...

    Anyone else frustrated with Ford over the next GT500?

    I believe you are correct, unfortunately. I don't follow vette rumors much, what is the C8 rumored to cost? I bet it's 150K [edit:for the tricked out version]. Too bad Ford doesn't have anything to compete. I don't view the GT as competition due to cost and scarcity.

    Anyone else frustrated with Ford over the next GT500?

    The GT500 is the best straight line car Ford will have. It's the straight line car the non GT350 fans have been waiting for. With less HP and more weight, it will lose at the drag strip to the "not a straight line" vette. No Bueno. If you want to claim it shouldn't need to lap a given track...
