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?
 
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.

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"?? :p
 
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?

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