Id guess 3875 to 3925lbs based on the zl1 and gt350 weights.
Watch it be 3999. Lol
Regardless it’ll handle, great suspension and impressive shocks and diff with good wheel/tire
makes up for a lot
Anyone else frustrated with Ford over the next GT500?

I guess the manufacturer doesnt know what theyre saying. This is from eatons site....
The eaton 1.8 was spun past its limit too. But not by ford
Interesting. Guess VMP shouldn't send out emails with false info lol.
Just going to post like everyone else so I can say I'm right just like them.
Next GT500 will have tires, paint, windows, a steering wheel, at least one seat and an image of a snake.
Now I'll be just like those that poke fun with my general statements that cannot be wrong and I can boast how everyone should have
"read between the lines" and magically knew exactly what I was saying.

It's impossible to miss the point. The reason I quoted you for posterity was because the car was already a model year 2020 when you "some people think it's a 2020 lol'd" it. Some people definitely did think it was a 2020. Namely the company that produces it. And your endless wrongness on the transmission.
See if you can understand what's happened here:
And magically now it's public that the car is supercharged. Who could have ever guessed! The shock! It really doesn't take much to figure this shit out dude.

Magically you wrote that in May of 2018 and the leaked blower image was December of 2017.
You're right, easy to figure that shit out dude.

Don't worry, because you have an attitude, I'm going to take this time machine much farther back and bludgeon you with it on January 14th.
Nothing to say about "LOL 2020?" When did that become public?
I’ve followed this since 2016.
Depwraith, I was there with you in 15/16/17 wanting it to be a turbo car.
Give it up bro. You fought the good fight, you’re upset it’s sc, and many people probably are too. It’ll be ok man. People will have turbo kits for this car the day it hits the streets.
Hang up the gloves. It’s done man.
Trying to bemoan dbk on svtp is akin to trying to disregard President Trump at a maga rally.
1. Why attack a great guy?
2. Why attack a great guy with all his supporters around?
Dbk is the kind of guy that could say f svtp because I’m tired of the know nothings clogging it up and acting like insiders. He stays here in spite of this crap to keep the rest of us in what portions of the loop that he can without putting ford in a bad position.
Dep, take it from a known eccentric on this site, hang it up man. It’s done.

It's not a team sport. There are no supporters or team mates.
Believe whatever, but if someone says it's a turbo car and I say it's not, it's not. Same goes for 10 speed autos or model year 2018.5 or the car being under 3800 lbs or any of the other nonsense.

I think it’s a good thing to promote the good and point out the bad.
At least if you said that, you'd be more right than you've been to date.
While this car is garnering a huge amount of interest I'm even more intrigued in the story behind it. Some here may know all the details but I can't help but wonder about the influence that former Ford employees had on the GT500 program such as Raj, Jamal, etc. Little is known about the path the car has followed and how much may have been changed either for the good or bad in terms of performance.
The transmission choice is probably the most interesting. I can't help but wonder if the timing as far as Tremec/Wixom DCT's finally coming on line has had something to do with the dates of the car's introduction and or availability. If Ford did indeed choose only one transmission and it happens to not be a manual...I'm already sick of the incessant complaining about it that will happen.
Whoever is currently heading up this program had a very difficult task. Some really good people left for a myriad of reasons, the new CEO came in (I assume with the program already well under way) and flipped the company upside down and pointed in a new direction, and the political climate with respect to petrol vehicles in general is growing a little uneasy. Thankfully, Chevrolet and Dodge are still in the game and may have made it a little easier (even if not by much) to argue in favor of a car like this ever being a reality in 2020. I hope guys like Christian, Baldori, Zinkosky, etc, that worked on previous SVT vehicle programs had input on this one as well. And I hope they were unleashed like never before.

FORD tweeted it was a 2019 model year...scroll through my posts and you'll see the linked image showing that.
Take your time machine all you want, you clearly enjoy poking fun at people....but I don't see you disputing the fact you "leaked" about the blower months after the schematic leak, lol.
With that, that leaves us with two possibilities:
1.) You have zero facts yourself
2.) You don't have the balls to post facts.
Yeah I know I can hear everyone now, "If he posts facts he won't get them in the future".
Well don't come on a forum that is meant for sharing and say you have facts but won't share them...that's something a seven year old would do to try and make himself feel more important than he is.
I don't care what Ford tweeted; I've seen the literal head of communications tweet that the Raptor is supercharged. You're delusional if you don't understand that I specifically quoted that so I could smack you with the model year 2020.
The fact is, you're on a one-man island of wrongness. How many times did I tell you that your "inside source" was wrong? Like 100? How much of what you posted was wrong? All of it. I guess I'm super lucky guessing what stuff isn't and you're super unlucky with facts about what stuff is. Somehow you're batting .000 and I'm batting a thousand.
Model year. Wrong.
Powertrain. Wrong.
Type of FI. Wrong.
Transmission. Wrong.
Release dates. Wrong.
All of this came from a now-deceased super duper inside source, which in addition to unluckily being wrong on all of the info was so deep inside that even the chief engineer of the program had never even heard of him when I asked. You ever heard of Occam's razor? Is it likely that it's just bad luck that all of your info ended up being wrong, or if you're honest with yourself, was it just total bullshit to begin with? (hint - it was)
99% of people are smart enough to apply process of elimination. Can't save everyone.

Oh yeah, AND you said "we don't know that yet do we" about the mythical 5.0L TT being scrapped in May 2018. Yeah, "we" definitely knew that wasn't happening.
Cool story, but I did not lie about Steve. So because you (who has presented zero information other than speculation and confirmation AFTER FACTS ARE RELEASED) say so, doesn't make it true. He worked on and off for Ford as an consulting and design Engineer for 30 years, so ask again.
Model Year: Changed by Ford several times.
Powertrain: You really think they only worked on 1 during this project? Laughable.
FI: See above reply.
Transmission: Not released, so not sure how it's wrong.
Release Dates: Clearly changes with Model Year changes.
Facts verified and posted by DBK before any leaks: NONE, ZERO, ZILCH.
Poke fun all you want, but in the end you're just someone coming along AFTER THE FACT saying you knew things...anyone can do that.
P.S. Haven't heard you call my rotary gearshift dial BS yet...why not? Oh that's right, because it's a fact and it's not released yet.
