Anyone else frustrated with Ford over the next GT500?

[BlksvtCobra01]

Just sayin.


Doubt it. Haven't seen the layout but the show was weak last year (relatively speaking) and static auto shows are losing relevance daily. I thought most of the displays were terrible last year. The FCA area was a seizure fest. All the exotics have bailed. Ford had a small footprint. They've really started filling the place with fluff and suppliers to make up for lack of manufacturer expenditure.

There's always gonna be a couple cars people care about, but overall I wouldn't spend the money. I say this as someone who has an opinion based on going every year though because it's close to where I live.

Thank you. Was curious for me it would be like a 4-5 hour drive.

I just got done talking to my wife about this. I'm selling my Shelby and Hellcat and cancelling my Demon order. I'm going to take the money I have been spending and just dump it into a savings account until the new Shelby comes up.

Well at today's prevailing rate you should net exactly enough to buy dinner for a family of 4 at the Western Sizzler provided your share an appetizer. ;^)

If the release is going to be so far out that I'll make enough in interest to pay for dinner, I may not live that long. But, if I do, the wings are all mine. The wife and kids can fight over whatever they are splitting.

Hang in there, everything will work out.
I did/doing the same as you, except not trading the 350. 2019 MY should start in June. Hopefully it will start being built at the start of the MY.

That’s the right attitude enjoy the car maybe get several replacements every 2-3 years, because life is short and if anyone is looking to make a buck by holding a car just invest in the stock market. lol

Well, at least we are nearing the completion of this thread. There's still a lot of ridiculousness about stuff that doesn't even exist.

It's weird to me that people would even discuss Demon relative to Mustang. It should be pretty obvious that slicks n skinnies drag specials are not what Ford builds.

I doubt anyone will be disappointed. I mean, I say that as a nihilist who knows that the internet is ALWAYS disappointed, but outside of that, I doubt anyone who actually buys cars will be disappointed.

Yeah. I don't get all the anger over the wait. Just go buy a ZL1 (1LE)/Hellcat/Demon and keep it pushing, if that's what your benchmark is. You already know the next GT500 is going to be expensive as hell [for a Mustang]. Just buy one of the other cars at a discount and be happy. If Ford doesn't deliver, then you can hang around all the Mustang sites and be smug about how much faster your car is. (Though, same as with GT350 owners [who actually knew what they were buying], no GT500 owner is going to care.)

What did he say? All he mentioned was there being a higher HP version coming for '21 MY with more tech than the '19 and '20. It was a fella on FB who said he fitted a electric motor between a 5.0L and a A10 in a mule. Its speculation that this is the new tech going into the '21. It may or may not be.
He DID also say that he thought it would be at the NAIAS, but he isn't in with marketing.

Well, their watermark is on the picture. lol

 

[conceptmachine]

ooops!

It was mentioned the wing would be even larger than that one.

Lol that's not where I saw it.

I was going to say, don't read too much into photos like that. The wing shown, for example, is very similar to one that was seen during aero testing for the GT350 a few years ago.

This is a very old picture. It started circulating right after the GT350 hit showrooms. There was speculation that this car in particular had fender gills similar to the GT3 RS, Viper ACR, et. al., hence the the thicker padding over the fenders.

He was mentioning faster/more power than demon, and hybrid power mustangs from what I read. You were passing the information from another forum but refused specifics. Now I see why.

I was seriously going to start a thread asking about that--are we getting ANY info other than this Bmac guy on 6G?
I only go there to read about the next GT500 and it seems like the ONLY info comes from him.
Several guys I trust here have said we won't be disappointed, but other than one source I know, who basically confirmed the basics of the leaked 2020 document, the only new info is regurgitated Bmac posts.
Now if he's really legit and is in the know, that's cool, but he could also be trolling us HARD.
I guess patience will be the only virtue.
I will say the widespread DCT rumor and continued GT350 have me intrigued. I drove a 350R on track after a DCT 458 Ferrari and a DCT would make that 350R next level.
As usual, time will tell...

I believe bmac is only stating what Ford has tried and or thought about but has no difinitive answers to what will be after all testing regs and money men have signed off on the projects. In hence saying he is not a true source.

 

[tones_RS3]

Hopefully this machine makes it's debut next month with all the legit specs.
Since the last GT500 cars, we've had the Hellcat cars, the GT350(R) cars, the new ZL1, the ZL1-1LE, and most recently the new ZR1. (Not sure if I missed any?) Let's go Ford. Let's see this beast already!
