Anyone else frustrated with Ford over the next GT500?

What rpms does that motor turn? I wouldn’t be surprised if this motor spins higher and guaranteed the heads will flow like crazy.
Not to change the subject Tob, but didn’t Travis mention something about watermarks on our stuff? Need to look into that honestly.
Well, again you have to see what the engine makes NA and I'm not sure that 6.2 Hemi or 6.1 LS makes more than a 5.2 Voodoo style engine. The 5.2 has an easy 1000rpm on the others and rpm builds power. Plus that TVS2650 likely flows as well as or better the Demon 2.7 IHI blower.
TiVCT also allows Ford to run a strong cam for the cubes, and the 755hp teased by the '18 dash should be easily doable with a 5.2/TVS2650.

Derp derp... It's been done plenty. Hell the boring old 5.0 can make that power
There’s no question the 5.2 CAN make big power, question is, how much will ford want out of it for a track car and what will pass emissions?
Let me rephrase....no way 5.2 liter with with a blower will make 800bhp AND come with a factory warranty or pass emissions. But GO FOR IT!!!!
Look I hope it does. I hope this car kicks ass. I hope a month from now we will all be drooling over the specs and then moaning about the dealer markups.

Similar head flow. More RPMS. More efficient blower. More boost. DCT. I can see 750+ without much issue.
Remember, HP is a function of torque and RPM. A positive displacement blower, and the correct cams will create the torque needed to translate to hp at the higher rpms.

Why would you even have doubts?
Chevy 7L V8 - 505HP
Ford 5.2L V8 - 526HP
Chevy 6.2L SC V8 (ZL1) - 580HP to 650HP
Ford 5.8L SC V8 - 662HP
Chevy 6.2L SC V8 ('19 ZR1) - 755HP
Ford 5.2L SC V8 ('19 GT500) - rumored 755HP
Ford has proven time and again that, whether NA or FI, they can do more with less with their engines. I'm not even going to bother covering FCA and the lackluster NA output from their huge engines.
Why does it have to have 800hp?
720hp and 3800lbs that runs corners all with warranty would be killer. And way better than either hc or demon for pure driving experience.
Everyone he is trolling you. This is what he does. He been banned from KLOV and Pinside many times. Stop feeding him.

"...additionally, the GT500’s powertrain selector will allegedly omit Track and Snow/Wet mode in favor of bespoke Drag Strip setting and Launch Control functions."
That's not good news to me. I'm still going to hold onto hope that it'll still have track prowess and not be just another boulevard cruiser. If it comes with a torque converter automatic, I'm out.
Uh, yeah, it's not gonna be a "boulevard cruiser."
ceramic pads = carbon ceramic brakes? oooooook
