[QUOTE="93 347 Cobra, post: 15812945, member: 7047"] Ford has been getting out-flanked by the competition in a number of ways. They're the leader in autonomous tech but GM will have a driverless car to market 2-years earlier. After all of the marketing hype Ford built up around going driverless and they'll be 2-years late to the party. They're also doing a poor job of getting technology into production vehicles in a timely manner. 3-years ago they were ahead now they're behind in their offerings. I love the driving aids on my SHO but Ford hasn't added much beyond what my car has now. The GT500 is another case of Ford lagging behind. There should have been a new car out a year ago. The GT350 has been ready since late 2014 so what they've been doing since then is not enough. They need to double the head-count at Ford Performance immediately. FCA has had the Hellcat Super musclecar hype all to themselves for almost 4-years to great benefit. Major fail Ford. The 2018 Mustang GT PP just lost a comparison test to the SS 1LE badly and if it weren't for rogue engineers deciding they needed something more aggressive (PP2) the GT would be hopelessly inferior until the S650 debuts. Al O and Team Camaro are working on a Camaro drag variant and are looking for more horsepower, that should be taken to mean 700+. Ford needs a rogue group of engineers to throw a blown DOHC 6.2 in a drag oriented street-legal Mustang. I think over 800-horse and highly reliable would be easy to achieve with the displacement. I'm sure the new GT500 will be awesome but it better be running with the Viper ACR's track times and run easy 10s at minimum 135 in the 1/4 to be truly impressive at this point. [/QUOTE]
