I stand by my predictions.
1: the 50th anniversary halo car MUST be something new and range topping. The Shelby's 662 hp is a helluva number to beat but my bet is on a turbocharged version of the coyote that puts out a nice round number for publicity. We've all heard the rumors about the flat crank v8 and what better application could there be than a turbo v8 with twin scroll turbochargers to take advantage of the 180° firing order? I also believe that ford isn't using the z28 as a benchmark but aiming much higher a la viper and corvette zr1, therefore a massive hp figure like 700 makes sense.
2: those big disks over the wheels aren't hiding calipers or new fancy blingin rims - those are hiding the brakes. We've already seen monster brembo calipers on the mustang so if they're going to these lengths to hide what this car is packing in the brake department you know it's going to be something important. When the '13 gt500 came out all the magazines complained about the fading brakes, so this is the answer.
