2019 GT500 News???

+1 on that!

The previous GT500 wasn't a track car...they may go in the same direction with this one??Either way I'm sure it'll be fun to have one...

There sure are a bunch of people the take them to the track though... The Mid-America Ford meet always seemed to have tons of these cars "whining" around the track at Hallet.

I hate to say it but...maybe HorsepowerKings was right?

I have a blower on my ‘13 GT that is rapidly approaching dedicated track only car, and have said countless times if catastrophe ever strikes and aggressive NA build is the direction I’ll go. But with the work I have put into it my car is great as is.

I am excited about the GT500 for potential to get it with the 10 speed auto / convertible form for tearing up the twisties and cruising with my wife. Automatic so she can drive it too. I have no expectations that this will be expected to out perform the GT350 on a road course. Horsepower is addictive and a blast outside of the road course too.

I'm hoping for a seven speed DCT with 750+ HP. That would be a fun car.

If you do end up as a dedicated track car I would seriously consider going e85.
Its waaay easier on the engine and waaay cheaper than race gas.

Plus you can make a lot more power safely. And who doesn't love that?

Dedicated track car is happening. Just a matter of when.

I’ll definitely have to look into E85 for it.

AED will hook you up with the right tune.
Plus, racing fuel will be 3 bucks a gallon and the motor will run cooler and make more power and be way less likely to detonate.
Going from 91 octane to e85 is 100 HP at 9 psi for me.
At 15 psi its another 50 hp and another 100 pounds of torque on top of the 9 psi e85 tune. Boosted cars love e85.

Awesome. Shaun at AED did my current tune and it runs like a champ. No doubt I would go back to him to make the switch.

Cool or fugly?

Can't say that gets me all warm and fuzzy. Ugly wheels. Front end reminded me of a Formula E racer....and that's not a compliment. Hope it looks better in person.

Don’t like the wide mouth bass look. Where is that from?

It’s a render and not from Ford.

That must be the new Camaro eating front end...

 

[JDee]

I prefer stuff a little more understated than that front end is. It's not horrible but it's pretty "busy".

 

[ChrisM]

It looks like it could be an accurate render based on the brief glimpse in the video. I imagine the wider front is for cooling similar to the giant mouth of the ZL1. The wing looked shorter in the video (and therefore uglier). If they took off the stripes I could see it looking good in person. I think the angle right now isn't working because the vents look like a hood scoop. It has potential but right now it's a big "meh." Of course, I've said that for every generation after 2014 and have ended up loving them in person.
