OMG! 2019 GT500

[Dirks9901]

I was hoping the first number started with an 8 but figured it would be a 7. What a time to be alive for car guys.

Not trying to start crap, but the bar has been moved up with the ZL1 1LE... 134.30 at LS
The GT500 needs to be able to hang in this space now... not to mention the ZR1 will crush that time too. So yes I too hope it will be a handler too!!

I would imagine that Ford won’t be taking a step back, and have a product that will compete directly. I have to say the 350 has been one of the most satisfying driving experiences for me, if the 500 can capture the same feelings that would be superb!!!

Finally.

I wouldn't get too hung up on the HP numbers. Couple reasons.

1.) Ford has a history of under-rating their engine's output.
2.) IMHO, the advertisement doesn't say only 700, but expect it to be higher than 700.
3.) Torque is where all the fun is. I'll take 700 HP & 700 TQ over 800 HP 600 TQ. The 7&7 will be much quicker... and there is no info on torque yet.

No question the GT350 wins the fun to drive catagory over most high performance cars! It’s an amazing machine!

Meh. It'll be 5+ years before it's affordable

Ford doesn't publish Ring numbers and there is no way anyhow it is faster on a track than a 2010 Viper ACR.

I'm thinking the price may be closer to $90K.... $85k - $87k wouldn't shock me.

The base GT350 has a MSRP of $55k. There is no way you are going to see a jump that huge.

High 60's to low 70's on price. This car has to be in the vicinity of its competition.

 

[RedRocketMike]

Weird ad.

 

[BrunotheBoxer]

When will this be for sale at dealers?

January 2019 or later?

 

[72MachOne99GT]

Option-less model at 59,995
Loaded at 75+

Hope Ford offers one for people who are satisfied without every track add on possible.

Will you be the first on here to own this car like last time?

Eh... $57,200 ... But close enough. The R is $69,500 if you get the Tech stuff. I can't see the GT500 only being $2,000 - $5,000 more.

What competition? The crapmaro is everywhere and dirt cheap. So that doesnt count. The Hellcat is still $72k+ and the Demon is $93k when well equipped. The comparable corvette is $120,000. I think $85-$90k is more than reasonable given the current market.

Final orders in for a 2018 Mustang is 03/02/18. So I would say based on past SVT Mustangs...fall of 2018. A long wait and time from now.

1LE went 7:16. I have a feeling this is going to crush that. Ford doesn't release 'Ring times? I didn't know that.
