2019 GT500 News???

[Champale]

Rick - you tease! That is really good information all the way around. I thought the GT350 was on it's way out after '18 but maybe not?

 

[VoodooBoss]

I'm just passing along what the rumor mill throws me. While the parts look pretty solid I think there's still some question around the GT350 and how long it lives. I'm hoping it dies in 2018 to keep values as high as possible.

 

[Champale]

Well I am hoping for the exact opposite so that I can finally afford a 350R!

What he said!!!!

Heh, I can confirm that one item that looks like an Intake is actually the new " George Foreman SuperSnake Grill !"

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

There's no mention of a 5.0L Mustang on there, just the 5.2L GT350. And what is a 3.5L GTPFDI (excluding Ford GT) engine? I'm thinking that's some kind of twin turbo V6. Does this foreshadow the end of the V8 powered Mustang? If so, mine's a keeper 'till the end of the road.

The 5.0L engine is there. Fourth column under "Engine Description" on the second line immediately following 3.3 PFDI it says 5.0L PFDI.

Right right right, I see that now. For some reason my brain only saw engine sizes at the beginning of each line in that column and went no further than the first one. Could that be age related brain degeneration or just lazy reading? Likely the latter. Or not?

I would have liked to have seen the word "Mustang" behind that 5.0 like they did below with the GT350 behind 5.2. Could that 5.0 be for the trucks only? With all the changes at the top of Ford there's a lot of speculation about what the future holds for the Mustang.

Does anyone know what those letters mean? Like what does PFDI stand for?

"Powerful Direct Injection"??

 

[06mach1]

pfdi = port fuel direct injection?

 

[VoodooBoss]

That’s it!

Thank God for our Crew!!!...They're on the ball!!!!

So no takers on the bet against Rick's little birdie and the S/C 5.2L prediction?

350R ownership looking more likely for me in 2018! I hope they're UNreasonable on the GT500 MSRP!

 

[302BOB]

Don't worry...GT500's always had ADM's....especially around my neck of the woods! The New one ,when it gets here will be no different, sad to say.................. maybe Bill P. can keep things reasonable for those of us in the hunt?

I’m with you man. I’m just sitting on the sidelines

 

[302 Hi Pro]

5.2L Supercharged Engine - GT500.

(Last line of the Ford 2020 Oil Spec Chart.)

Rick has an inside “Birdie” with great intel reports!

 

[VoodooBoss]

Confirmation that it's coming.

Hoping it comes out later rather than sooner. Then plan turn my S197 into dedicated track only car (it’s about 80% there now) and acquire new uberstang in a convertible with 10 speed for weekends can commence!

I fully expect to see that trans in the GR500. But three gears under 1.0?
