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’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.
 
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 ;-)

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!
