In no way was the gt500 made to fight the hellcat... And the carbon track pack essentially is the "R". Ford is not and probably never will be a straight line focused manufacturer ever again aside from their cobra jet program. They are on the world stage, the hellcat, fell through that stage with its heft.
Place Your Demon vs GT500 Bets Here!!!! Who Needs Torque?

I did not say the GT500 was bench-marked against the Hellcat. I was just responding to an earlier post stating they felt it was. To me it doesn't matter since I am quite pleased with the specs as Ford has presented them for the GT500. It is my own wishful thinking about GT500R but it is a wish I hope they fulfill. Perhaps they will instead do a Boss 429 or some other famous package to do a straight line oriented demon killer. Either way, I am fine with what is already on the table from Ford.
You are right about that... Ford is now catering to the Europeans... Dodge is grass roots and stayed catering to bald eagles, freedom and shit...
It's more like a valet key (black 500 HP) and the regular key (red 808/840 HP)
I am not always happy about decisions Ford makes, but I will always respect that they did not develop any of their products using tax payer funded welfare like Dodge and GM. I think that is the grass roots American way of doing things.
I honestly don’t know of any of those races, car sounds like it has a secret 100 shot or something, that’s hella fishy. I don’t like it.

If I’m racing I’ll take 625tq and 8k rpm vs 770tq and 6500.
I’ve walked cars that should murder my little pony, like full bolt on 900whp hellcats, a 960whp Camaro ss. My little pony only make 815whp and a laughable 700wtq on my pump gas tune.
Walked those cars running to 8k rpm.
Do you know what is funny? A banged up beat up 1800lb Honda with 400wtq and 670whp will walk my shit like it’s standing still.
Torque is a motivation to move, not a rate at which that work will be performed. Hp is a calculation of the rate torque produces work.
2500tq at 1500rpm in a combo that shifts at 2500rpm with an 8spd dct is not winning a straight line race against 1000hp at 8000rpm in a manual 6spd geared well.
Torque pulls loads of weight, it doesn’t win all races.
The heavier a vehicle is, the greater the torque needed to resist it decelerating. If you want to move that weighty vehicle quickly, you need to have hp. To have hp, you need rpm.
Revving an engine to 8 9 or 10k rpm isn’t ricey it’s racy.
Top fuel drag cars make maybe 6000wtq and over 10,000whp revving to 10,000+ rpm.
That would be like a 1000whp 600wtq setup Revving to 10,000rpm.
Hp and torque are equal at 5252 because torque carried to rpm is hp and hp produced at rpm represents resistance to deceleration or torque.
If you don’t understand how engines work then go buy a demon and wear slippers and talk shit on a website called svtperformance

Cant use logic here, rpms dont win races.. massive tq at 4k does....
I & I, Jamaica. One love bro, we got dis
Demon shifts 4 times, gt500 shifts 3 times. Demon takes 3/10th to shift, shelly says she’s only going to need less than 1/10th. Right there is <3/10th of shift time for young shelly and a whopping 1.1 seconds of shift time for big boy billy demon face. That is .8 to .9 seconds where young gun Shelly will put some use of that 760hp.
Question, you see that part where I threw up them graphs showing how power n stuff goin be prolly higher above that there 7500rpm redline? Well if we are so privileged as to be able to shift at 8300rpm, then this here Shelly goin be one mean bitch.
It would verify what I’ve told kaneda all along. That he purchased the wrong dodge. But he cares less about actual performance he just wants his ego to be able to say most horsepower 840.
Would someone just race this guy to shut him up. Thanks
Lol^^

Well that would explain why he bought a car with an automatic transmission.
I offered him free entry to my event this weekend to get shit on by any # of low and high end cars.. he has yet to respond
I offered at $5k, he won't reply lol
