Anyone else frustrated with Ford over the next GT500?

That motor was in development and it's not unusual for things to change, especially when a product is 2 years past it's original planned date. I'd still look for it in the future (after all, Ford puts a turbo on just about everything these days)...unless the next one is electric.

So Ford Powertrain worked on developing a twin turbo Coyote engine for the GT500 and at some point abandoned the project. They instead developed a supercharged variant and after a short production life will abandon that powerplant and go back to the TT that they shelved.

Cute, but how about posting something that isnt' known to anyone that has seen the image?

Just another one poking fun with zero info himself, feel better about yourself now?

Yup. I’m quite happy with myself. I’d say I’m feeling like I just ate a nice fresh grilled rare steak, ****ed the new neighbors 22 year old sister, had some jack daniels and am happily currently day dreaming about summer weather and rolling burnouts.

And in case anyone is wondering who will be introducing the GT500...
(Kumar) Galhotra, a mechanical engineer educated at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, will make his car show debut in his current role while introducing a redesigned 2020 Ford Explorer and the Mustang Shelby GT 500 in their fastest and most powerful versions, not to mention the limited-edition Lincoln Continental with suicide doors.

A good read on him that popped up recently.
He's a big deal at Ford, but down-to-earth exec hides in plain sight

For those that don't know, Galholtra was put into his current position to replace Raj Nair.
