Not surprised at the 4,200+ weight. SC and all those extra coolers add up.
Everything in regard to the new 500 is an ad at the moment. No one except Ford has one in their possession. There are no private review videos, just teaser videos that are advertising in my opinion.What do you mean exactly? Was "ad' a typo or referring to the video as an ad? I dont think that is supposed to be an ad.
Im surprised, @ZYBORG keeps saying they already said the weight, but i checked mustang6g and its all speculation. Just gotta ask how is this car +350lbs heavier than a ZL1? I dont believe it, im thinking its 4000lbs max. Anything less is welcome.Not surprised at the 4,200+ weight. SC and all those extra coolers add up.
Wonder who’s going to end up with pre-production #01 and #02 shown in video.

Pretty much agree and Ford has really fallen behind. I swear they are going cheap now in all business facets but charge a premium. Heard from several owners and Ford service reps there are 5.0 engine problems in the new Engines which reflect shotty work.After all this time, nothing is really groundbreaking other than the DCT. If there is ever a riced out Mustang, this is it. They literally should have just thrown the power/drivetrain into the GT350 and called it a day. Would have been sooo much sexier.
As far as performance. Hellcats have been doing mid 3 sec 0-60’s and sub 11 sec 1/4 miles since 2016. ZL1’s have been able to turn since the 5th gen. Sure it’s nice for it to do both but after this long of a wait it should be doing sub 3 sec 0-60’s, sub 10.5 1/4 miles and be targeting Vettes on the road course. It should have been TT period.
Also. Ford needs to fire their PR team and let Dodge teach them how it’s done. All that ive seen on the car so far has been...YAWN.
Why are you so hell bent on comparing weight to a Camaro when you can basically extrapolate from current Mustangs?Im surprised, @ZYBORG keeps saying they already said the weight, but i checked mustang6g and its all speculation. Just gotta ask how is this car +350lbs heavier than a ZL1? I dont believe it, im thinking its 4000lbs max. Anything less is welcome.
Till someone gets a 2020 GT500 on the scale its all speculation. Just like saying the car puts down X amount of power, gotta wait for dyno results.
Fair point, but technically GM has 2 platforms that compete with each other.Hopefully sales suck and Ford learns this turd is too little too late. Dodge challenger sales are up. For ****s sake Ford just make the car beat the Demon in a straight line and you could charge double for the ****ing things and people would still buy them.
At this point why aren't Ford or Chevy stealing Dodge's thunder. Both platforms are way better than what dodge has, it would be simple.
We'll find out when someone gets one on the scale. PP2 also uses heavy wheels, solid rotors and a steel two piece driveshaft? Fords putting on a carbon ds, two peice rotors all around and hopefully lighter wheels to offset the added weight of the blower + supporting mods.GT PP2 weighs 3829. Add 2.7L blower, intercooler, heat exchanger, oil cooler, transmission cooler fluids and other additional content and it’s pretty easy to gauge what this thing will weigh. The Camaro is irrelevant.
I assure you they’ll sell every one they can make. At a premium. They won’t be sitting on dealership lots at a discount like their competition does. And in case you’re wondering, the mustang still outsells the challenger and Camaro. 4 years in a row. So while it may seem like dodge is killing it and there pr dept is amazing, it doesn’t look like ford needs to do anything to sell their cars. Lot of work on dodges part to take 2nd place for the first time ever. LolHopefully sales suck and Ford learns this turd is too little too late. Dodge challenger sales are up.

These cars will probably run 10.4-10.5 on a tire stock and mid 9’s with bolt ons and it’s not good enough. Crazy
