potententially leaked gt500 spec sheet

[DAVESVT2000]

The “leaked” document is full of misspelling and numerical errors.

I call bull shit.

 

[Dirks9901]

All I'll say is those numbers are lower than what the car was making a year ago, and it won't be officially unveiled for a while yet...

Things may have changed in the time being, but I doubt it's gone that sideways.

Faith restored! I’m anxious as hell for this GT500 to drop.

And a 190mph top speed is a let down. I know I’ll never take one that fast, but bragging rights and knowing a car is capable of the 200mph mark is a good feeling. I think this leaked document may be bullshit. I don’t think a mustang has ever weighed 4000+lbs either


Pretty much my response

Reminds me of the kids and dummies at car shows, "look this one goes to 220mph" as they stare at the speedo.

I agree though, I think this document is bullshit. If the GT500 weighs close to or over 4k lbs, I am going to rethink my strategy for the next car. I think I may have to go back to a C6Z...

Whoever created this got their laughs, that's for sure.

I do not believe that to be an accurate document.

I was almost fooled by this document this morning before my coffee kicked in. I'm calling BS. Misspelled words, weird word usage, random tow information, it doesn't say "GT500" or even "Ford" anywhere on the document... It's horse hocky that was probably created by a Camaro or Challenger fanboy.

Reasons why this is bullshit.

1. Petrol, not Patrol
2. "supercharged" would have been capitalized
3. The output would not be "No commercial usage.", instead it would say "YES" or "NO".
4. It would say "not applicable" or "N/A", not "No trailer tow."
5. It wouldn't explain itself, it would just say 4905 lbs.

Yep. Right in line with my analysis.

 

[ATX5.0]

I’ll call BS as well.

I believe it’ll be under 4K lbs and 750hp

 

[13COBRA]

6. Both "max" would have been capitalized.

 

[Curt@injected]

That's a bit of a letdown.

56 more HP and 30 more TQ than a 13/14....and @370lbs heavier!

If it is available with the 10 speed it will still be an upgrade.

Add:
6. Driveshaft dimension is not a measurement
7. wheelbase is cited in inches not millimeters. (wheelbase in millimeters, really?)

Is this the European model?!?!?
lol

SVTP FALLS FOR THE BAIT!

I don't think 4200+ lb. Dry weight is accurate. Ford wouldn't focus so much on efficiency, then add an additional 400 lbs. That would just negate the additional power/efficiency... But the power numbers are very realistic. 2.27 HP/cu.in. are great power numbers! Would love to see GM match it with their P.O.S. push-rod motors lol

30 year anniversary and final hoorah for the Ford Taurus SHO.

Crash test standards are increasing, at what seems to be exponential speeds. When the '13-'14 GT500 was built, there was no small overlap test by the IIHS. 720HP is very nice though. More than the Hellcat, but less than the Redeye. The GT500 does weigh almost 300lbs. less than the Redeye. We'll have to wait and see how accurate this is.
