Apparently the TT code on the windshield could mean a TT V8 under the hood...

Twin turbo 5.0 with DI has long been rumored for the GT500 and as an option for the Raptor.

I'm still holding out a glimmer of hope that Ford gives the languishing 6.2 some love and it appears in the Gt500 as a 7 liter. They could bring back the 429 Boss nameplate or 427 KR or Cobra Jet etc. They love doing throw back names like that. And Ford fans will finally get a proper big inch engine after being stuck with limitations of the mod motor bore spacing for so long.

Oh yeah, SVT alive and well...

Twin turbo 6?

We did a class on the 6.2 a year or so back and were told it was originally developed as a 4v that made a lot of power.

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)

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...

A class?

Yeah, Ford had big plans for it with both smaller and bigger versions planned for Mustangs and trucks (5.5 - 7.0+). Roush ran a DOHC 7 liter version in a drag car. Ford abandoned it when they couldn't get the desired MPGs only to resurrect it for a truck motor.

The motor has tons of potential that will never be realized if it's only offered in Super Duties and a handful of F150s. If it were in Mustangs people would go ape shit.

Nothing special. Just a fleet class to get up to speed on the new design or any changes.

The 12-14's are sweet

Yessir, those long blocks in the 12's sans the cam(s) profile and blower are very similar to the '12 5.4. The '13-14' even better with the bigger displacement.

You misplaced the 9.

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

bench seat racers still be talking about fox body + 10k = 9s even with newer cars.
