THE NEW GT500 IS RUNNING A LOWER COMPRESSION TWIN TURBOCHARGED 5.2L THAT PUTS DOWN 700RWHP. It will be 2017MY
not to be mistaken with the N/A 5.2l GT350

Please tell me that you know this for sure. That would really turn things around for the S550.
Heard this too. the 5.2 na is supposed to make close to 600?
What is the source for that info?
forgeline wheels
I think the point is, this appears to be different from the n/a GT350. Whether they call it a Shelby, Cobra, GT500 or Hellcatstang has yet to be determined. It's being called the GT500 because nobody knows what the hell else to call it yet and the 13/14 GT500 is the only thing to compare it to. Just my completely uninformed opinion. The speculation is fun though!
regardless of name..the new halo car won't be out until 2016/2017 anyways. They have plenty of time to figure out what to name it
I for one hope they return back to the SVT Cobra and move away from Shelby all together.

Wouldn't they fuel up at the shop/yard/plant/manufacturing center before heading out on the road?
Seem kinda odd they would stop and fuel up at a gas station.

^^^^they do that on purpose to stir things up
Thats a good way to get fired.
No because you want to expose to real world situations and one of those factors is the different formulas of gas.
lol well they dont have to do it just a shot to try!
When I worked for Roush we had so many rules about the prototypes. Some could only be taken out at night, some have to be in full heavy camo, some didn't have to be camo'd but you couldn't pop the hood and if you broke the rules you got fired.
The owner of the dealership I work at said at the big ford meeting he just got back from that a 2016 GT500 picture was shown in the briefing...he said the pictures were flipped through real quck and no cameras were allowed in the meeting. I am only reporting the news, I can't verify any of this to be true or not...

yeah i hear you man and did they have a lock on the hood latch?
No but what we had areo latches along with the normal hood latch.
They are hauled out there for altitude testing, too much of a hassle to haul fuel, unless the tests specifically require it.
A little off-topic.. What's the point in the camo? It doesn't seem to hide anything at all. It attracts more attention than a regular paint job would. Hiding the body lines in a picture perhaps?
