2019 GT500 News???

[VoodooBoss]

Crickets. The L.A. Auto Show has started and nothing. Next up for a big announcement would be the Detroit International Auto Show. It's been so quiet we've got to see something soon. So will we see a Bullitt or GT500 first? The other big question I have is will the GT500 be supercharged or turbocharged? 10 speed auto of the rumored 7 speed DCT? I'm hoping for the DCT. Another thing so consider is will the GT500 have a wider track than the GT350 and possibly even have flared rear fenders?

I still don’t think anything will happen until 2020

I'll put a six pack of beer on that. My prediction is the Detroit show or sooner.

A birdie told me 5.0 ecoboost. Big hp.

 

[VoodooBoss]

My little birdie told me it’s a 5.2 supercharged motor. We’ll find out soon.

I’ll buy you a six pack but I am standing my ground. I guess I should have been more specific. You and I as a consumer will not be getting any new Mustang in our hands till 2020.

I’m thinking Detroit makes like to announce during the Detroit and/or NY Auto Shows.

The 5.2 FPC platform would make a World-Class Hi-Po Engine.

 

[VoodooBoss]

We'll see them before 2020 but they could be a 2020 MY.

I don't expect to see the 5.2 FPC in anything but a GT350.

5.2 is correct, but NOT a FPC. Expect north of 740hp

2020my is correct as well, as the GT350 goes thru 2019

At least thats what the lady with the tarot cards told me ;-)

For those that don't know, Rick's 'birdie' has an *excellent* track record. I wouldn't bet against it!

VoodooBoss has the rumor mill cranked up and I really like the 2020 model theory, but like so many Ford intros , Spring of 2019 is my projection..................hmmm, remarkably similar to VDBs thought process!

 

[302BOB]

Are you two sharing the same crystal ball?

 

[Bill Pemberton]

How........ he is in California and I am in the middle of recently cultivated cornfield in Kneebraskeee!!!

 

[302BOB]

The internet makes ANYTHING possible as you know with your sales to my neck of the woods... It must be a cyber crystal ball.................

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Cyber balls ??? Not going there.............

 

[blacksheep-1]

Heard the new Bullitt is out...

 

[VoodooBoss]

This image is making the rounds today on social media. I have no idea what’s going on but it could be the top of a supercharger.

 

[Bunkie726]

Sure isn’t twin snails. Thanks for sharing! Gotta be topping that new Aluminator motor. At 580 NA horses this will be brutal with 10-15 lbs boost. Lookout!

 

[VoodooBoss]

And this could be the front brake. It’s huge even compared to the GT350. Probably 410mm like on the Porsche’s which means you’ll need 20” wheels. Need more brake up front for that heavy motor with over 700 HP and 200+ mph top speed. Say goodbye little kitty.

 

[Mad Hatter]

Thats one of two things....A hobbits hand.... or a really big brake setup[!!!

I can’t remember if this was posted yet or not.
