GT500 Spy Shots - TT V8 Possible?

[Unicorn Jeff]

You misplaced the 9.

A gt with 700 hp can be had for $40k, with a warranty.

That Joe Myers thing on Facebook?

You're right about that Rob, I might pull the trigger on a '12-'14 GT500, they are getting affordable and a you're a KB blower away from almost 1k HP...

could have had mine for 45K

Same here, I hope the new one is bad ass and drops the prices on the 13-14, because right now my budget is only enough for a 5.4L GT500.

They could bring back the 429 Boss nameplate or 427 KR or Cobra Jet etc. They love doing throw back names like that.

To bring back the 427 KR it would have to had existed in the first place.

From Ford racing. They install everything and still has factory warranty.

If I remember right the only dealer around here that does it is in Frisco. At least that's what 5 star ford told me a few years ago. You can still purchase it through any dealer, it just gets transferred over there for install.

Surely Ford wouldn't equip the Shelby Mustang with a TT V8 while the GT supercar gets a TT V6?

I'm sure there are weight and packing issues that they aren't dealing with on the mustang platform.

If they are out to beat the Hellcats with say 750hp, they are going to have to use a bigger displacement engine than the 3.5L ecoboost. They aren't going to use higher tune 3.5L in the Shelby over the GT. Also I think going with the TT 5.0 DI motor is going to lead to DI being introduced across the V8 range.

There's still the stigma that comes with a V6 supercar vs a V8 underling.

These cars are being built for completely different purposes.

I think they'd experience more lift than backlash in that scenario. Goons with money will buy the GT500 cuz it gotz more power/cubes than the Ford GT and the waiting list for the Ford GT will still be more than 10 times what Ford produces. Win/win.

Doesn't matter which engine it has, about 2 people that post here could afford one!
Fuck, a premium GT is close to 50K now! (sticker)

I just bought a Porsche so that leaves only one person that can get it..

Maybe that's where they told me. The name doesn't sound familiar, though.
