2020 GT500 Underhood shots

[Tob]

Just a quick comparison between the GT500 Grille Opening Reinforcement panel (top) and the same from the GT350. Perspectives aren't a perfect match but close enough and I cropped portions of the GT500 panel that were obscured by bodywork, etc. Regardless, it looks like Ford was telling the truth in that the part looks to very much be carryover aside from the hood pins/bases being added to the GT500 GOR.

I agree. The engine bay looks like shit. Definitely should clean it up.

1st mod will be an intake, and gain 20whp, 03/04 style.

I can't wait to see the first 3.6KB under that hood.

Map sensors are much better.

No.

This is SOOOOOO much cleaner.

I LOL'd!!

You didnt notice the maf right off the air box into the tube?

The pics arent great but looks like an iat sensor not a maf

 

[Curt@injected]

No.



I LOL'd!!

Ya ford speed density is a bit of a pita. Would have preferred a maf but to me doesn't look like we are getting one.

It is much cleaner. Ford does a terrible job organizing under the hood.

I wonder if they will tidy up a bit on the production cars?
This may explain the lack of under the hood shot, it wasn't ready for prime time.

 

[Tob]

I have a strong sense that what you see is what you'll get.

 

[PIPO]

That overflow tank is such an eyesore.

 

[Kaneda]

Considering the GT350 looks like shit under the hood, I fully expect the GT500 to be no different. A shame. Having the hood open should be a moment of PRIDE, not a FUGLY experience.

 

[Kaneda]

Any questions?

 

[96gt02]

that is definitely an IAT sensor and not a MAF or MAP

Ya, how much they betting, and where we lining up G?

Back to looks though, I think the Chevy lsa doesn’t look too hot. But, the v10 is sex on fire with maple syrup and whiskey

The new gt500’s engine bay looks as good as the demons or the camaro’s to me. Modern bays need less plastic and more painted/coated metal, aluminum, and magnesium stuff. If cheap asses like me can shill for decent stuff, these companies can too. The plastic is a joke.

I like ford’s engine bay better than the chevy’s because it’s not all plastic. Who wants tons of painted plastic everywhere? Go back to colored head covers though. The gt500 should have deep rich blue valve covers. I know the hellcat red eye has black heads while the hellcats have orange heads. I like those kinds of changes.

I put together a few GIF's from some photos I was able to overlay. Two I just did a few minutes ago.

First, the CF Track Pack wing in each available position. I suspect that those that pay for this will set the attack angle to the most aggressive setting and leave it.

Next up is a good comparison between base and CF Track Pack. Somebody at Ford had already made some adjustments to the "base" photo and if you look close you can see what they did.

And one I did a few weeks ago showing the louvered hood section in place as well as removed.

Wait till people see that gt500 carbon track spec swapping times with a Ford gt.
