799
Numbers?

799 would be brilliant. FWIW I heard it was going to be high 700s or over 800 and that Ford would target Demon and Redeye with the power number. I won't post publicly who said it but I'll say I take it with an entire shaker of salt. They don't need to be higher but it would be hilarious if they did.
Beat you too it on post #111 the early bird gets the horsepower
I’m guessing 760hp.
Power dense means hp/l in my opinion.
Zr1 is 755hp 6.2L+2.65L so 93.0hp/L
Demon is 840hp, 6.2+2.7L so 94.4hp\L
I think 760hp. 738hp would mean 94.0hp/L
So by that, 750hp or 760 or 780 or 790 but knowing the alleged insider banter leaks say 740 was hard I’m guessing 750. Gut hunch is 760hp though.
I’ll say 760hp for 2 reasons.
1. Beat Chevy on paper
2. The speedo on the gt press image showed 4 55 and the car ended up at 460hp. The gt500 showed 7 55 so 760 could make sense.

Would be really funny if it’s 799hp. I’d give them props for the troll roll

With the release of puzzle piece #4, Ford has said this engine is "the most power-dense supercharged production V8 engine" in the world.
I hope they are not going all ricer here with that statement, bragging about engine specific output is what ricers do when they talk about how much power they are making with their tiny displacement engines per litre (cid). Integra Type R, K20/K24 swap guys yap about that all the time.
BTW, I think that last # is a 0, so now the world waits to see what the magic middle # is, seeing that little slight curve in that 1 puzzle piece I'm with others and say it'll be a 6...…………..so 760 is my guess.
That would be a nice jump from the 720 shown in that "suppose'ed leak" document on youtube couple months back, good on the engineers to get it up there if it is THE NUMBER!!
So a ZR1 and GT500 are not in the same technical class or financially equal...……………….so what??? You're driving either car and someone driving the other pulls up and wants to tangle and what??? You're not playing because the other car is more advanced and/or costs more???? REALLY?????
They are both SC V8's, RWD, over 700++ hp...………...let the fun begin and the better car/driver have at it!!!!!
I'm game to a friendly wager. We have test results from Car & Driver on how a ZR1 performs, and once the Shelby is available for them to run it through their battery of tests we'll see if the performance #'s beat what the ZR1 has put down.
4 things are for sure, the Shelby will not have the power/weight ratio, weight distribution, Aero and top speed of the Vette.

What if the puzzle thing is misleading everyone and it’s over 800?
haha... right
I think that last number is 9
759 or 769
anything less, kiss my grits Mel
Im down, and I agree, all that matters is when 2 owners meetup and do what is expected.
but their in lies my issue with what your saying. Im saying leave the shitty magazine reviews out of it, let real owners do the work. for roadcourse, sure, a pro driver, preferably the same, ill take that, but as for 1/4 mile or mexico highway runs, it needs to be 2 people that want to win
Rumor is 720 HP We will see

I agree with this. If it has 69 in it I’m down! Call it a winner!

the middle number wouldnt be rounded if it was a 2. That wont be it and that's not 700++ that would simply be 700+
760 hp and 625 torque
Respectable numbers

Finally an accurate write up. Now to see these cars for sale and on the road.

2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500: More Details on Its 700+HP Engine
It's only running 12-psi. So there's room for more boost. At 15 it would be roughly 800 on a factory conservative tune. They made note that the folks from Tremec spent lots of time fine-tuning the torque management. What's the torque capacity of the DCT?

That's a big number on 12lbs.
Wooo. Wooo. I got it, I want the internet’s! All of the internet’s!
Looks like it’s 760
