[QUOTE="91svtbird, post: 11479466, member: 37026"] Here are some of the questions and answers: Comment From Dylon When will we see pricing on the new GT500? Quarter Mile times? 0-60 proof? [COLOR="DarkOrange"]11:03 Jamal Hameedi: We'll be publishing performance stats in the next few months, trust me, you'll be happy.[/COLOR] Comment From Kevin Has the MSRP been determined for the '13 GT500? [COLOR="DarkOrange"]Ford: MSRP will be revealed soon. We are all smiling over here Kevin![/COLOR] Comment From Kevin I'm am interested on how you guys are taking the Chevy mud slinging. Looks as if the GT500 better do its job in a straight line and on a course. How is it performing at nurburg testing? Satisfied with results compared to what the ZL1 has offered to release? 11:06 [COLOR="DarkOrange"]Jamal Hameedi: We can't wait to get the car in the hands of journalists! 11:06 Jamal Hameedi: and customers as well![/COLOR] Comment From GARY WOOD Hello, Is the TORSEN Diff. tough enough for drag racing? [COLOR="DarkOrange"]Jamal Hameedi: Yes, we've had the Torsen diff at the drag strip and we've never broken one.[/COLOR] Comment From Sean With the new Focus-ST and the Boss both being non-SVT vehicles, what is the status or future of the SVT program? 11:07 [COLOR="DarkOrange"]Jamal Hameedi: Hi Sean, there are SVT engineers working on the ST program. We are all one global performance group now.[/COLOR] 11:07 Comment From Guest As a 2012 SVT Raptor Owner, I was wondering, will ford be hosting any Raptor weekends for owners to come and play with out trucks with a SVT engineer? Also, I love my truck! 11:08 [COLOR="DarkOrange"]Jamal Hameedi: Look for future Raptor Round-Up's[/COLOR] 11:08 Comment From Shant Meg. I am debating a Shelby with the performance Pack. Will the ride be stiffer than a Shelby without the Performance Pack? 11:09 [COLOR="DarkOrange"]Jamal Hameedi: Hi Shant, the SVT-engineered Bilstein suspension on comfort mode will offer a nice ride![/COLOR] Comment From Frank Congrats on the first 20 Years of SVT, what does the future of SVT look like with the Ford Global business focus? [COLOR="DarkOrange"]Jamal Hameedi: Hi Frank, the future is really exciting. When we leverage our global performance engineering capability it means more performance cars at the end of the day for our enthusiasts[/COLOR]. Ford: We just had a question come in from one of our Google+ fans: I'm a big fan of the Ford GT. Between the Shelby GT500 and the Ford GT which one is the superior performer? [COLOR="DarkOrange"]Jamal Hameedi: To our friend on Google+. The GT500 and the Ford GT are pretty different vehicles—but we bench marked the GT quite a bit. The GT500 and GT are roughly similar in performance up to 150 MPH and the GT500 is faster on a road course.[/COLOR] Comment From Shant Meg. Hi Guys, How crucial will the new Track Pack on the Shelby be if I will track the Shelby only a few times in it's lifetime? [COLOR="DarkOrange"]11:28 Jamal Hameedi: Hi Shant, if you're an accomplished driver and you track your GT500 you'll definitely want the track pack.[/COLOR] Comment From George B ;) Will there be a "Track Key" with the 2013GT500 ? Will there be any restrictions or speed limitations on the car whatsoever? [COLOR="DarkOrange"]11:26 Jamal Hameedi: Hey George, the GT500 Coupe is not speed-limited.[/COLOR] I actually asked a few other questions but they didn't get to answer them or simply chose not to at this time but at least they answered this one. My thanks to Ford , SVT , Jamal Hameedi, SVT Chief Engineer, and Jim Owens, Shelby Marketing Manager for taking the time to answer some of our questions live on-line! [/QUOTE]
