Well OK then.

No new Raptor until 2017. Good news for me

:drool:

They all look fantastic IMO. I'm surprised by Ford's decision to use the Ecoboost in the GT, I can't wait to witness the inevitable shitstorm that is about to unfold.

 

[hunterp]

The 350 is making me drool all over myself. I need a bib over here

 

[Ry_Trapp0]

mods, maybe throw GT/GT350R/raptor in the title to limit duplicate threads?

i agree completely, and on both accounts! i really wasn't interested in the idea of a new ford GT("build the GR-1!!!) because i really didn't think they could design one to live up to the '05, but that thing is SIIIICK!

Its not a surprise at all. Ford corporate culture hates V8s. They have slowly but surely dropped v8s from every vehicle line except for the f-series trucks and mustang. They also hate RWD.

Ford GT features the most powerful EcoBoost production engine ever – a new twin-turbocharged Ford EcoBoost V6 producing more than 600 horsepower.

 

[DGladhill]

So much awesome :rockon:

 

[Ry_Trapp0]

oh look, the resident engine guru has shown up...

yea they do, that's why they built a bespoke one for the GT350, right?

 

[Drive XR7]

Holy moly! Would love to hit NAIAS this year!

So the 013 GT500 has more power than fords flagship "super car?" seems legit :rolleyes

Wow. I wonder what it's gonna sound like.

yea bro, because the 3700+lb 2013 technology mustang will compete with this brand new, all carbon fiber mid engine supercar in performance metrics, right? only a complete ****ing jackass would think that the HP of a 2013 model mustang bears ANY relevance to ford's new, 2017 model, all carbon fiber supercar.

your ecoboost tears, there's just so many of them

 

[DHG1078]

The new GT should be significantly lighter, much better chassis, and will destroy the '13 gt500 in every measurable metric.

I wonder if there are any racing regulations that limit the HP/weight ratio so they stopped at 600 hp.

 

[DriftwoodSVT]

500 lbs lighter and a 10 speed does sound interesting in the Raptor. Not sure on the V6 yet.

Edit - holy hell the tailgate on the Raptor is FUGLY!

And will get absolutely bitch slapped by it too...
