TopCat501 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 The guy (Corral forum) who attended the dealer meeting earlier this week said Ford was tight lipped on the GT500 except for confirming the 5.8 engine. Did you happen to hear any legitimate range for the HP? Or anything to do with traction improvements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We promise we won't tell the world. Did you have to sign a Non-Disclosure Statement? I still have a government TS and have signed several NDS over the years plus I've been to Area 51 a few times.

I work there, and if they are stored there they must only come out after everyone goes home. They keep them downstairs in the walk-in beer cooler. I know a couple of them would go over the Wright-Patt bowling alley for mid-night bowling on Friday nights, plus there was one real tall grey one who they let play downtown in the mid-night basketball league on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You must work the day shift in the hanger, they only come out at night. I'm a janitor on the night shift, I see them all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pockdog Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 and too cool of a new gauge package called Track App!!!!!! More on that can be found here: 2013 Mustang LCD Gauge Mode Pics Surface with Gauge and Track Apps! Looks cool.... but I wonder about the part about displaying 1/4 mile times and such, when the clutch failure threads were going around here on TS, didn't some from Ford claim that a warranty repair on a failed clutch would NOT be honored if the car was drag raced at the track? If this is true, why would Ford, albeit indirectly via this gauge feature, imply that it's okay to take the car to the drag strip, or am I missing something here? -Pockdog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldfingers Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 I hope the 2013's are great cars, then I will be able to get a good deal on 2011-2012!! Everyone will win!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilt2 Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Can some one tell me what the 5.8 engine block is based on???????? Bored out 5.4, ? or new virson of the 5.0???? or 6.2 truck motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010KonaBlueGT Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Can some one tell me what the 5.8 engine block is based on???????? Bored out 5.4, ? or new virson of the 5.0???? or 6.2 truck motor. It's just a overbored version of the 5.4 Aluminun spray-bore block. I'm real curious if they're going to use the variable cam timing or DI. And I'm thinkin' they *might* add the 2.3 TVS but from what all of my Ford contacts say, "nope". They don't need the 2.3L TVS to get the HP they'll have (around 600HP) and in fact, the TVS would need to be "detuned" to get there. They say with the larger displacement along with either tune or pulley, they can easily reach their intended number. Having said that, they won't tell me what the exact "intended number" is, or if the TVS is totally off the table or not. They know, they just won't say. If it's what I think it's going to be, I'm seriously thinking about putting my 2010 back to stock and buying a 2013...and maybe getting the SS package (with a WHITE STRIPE!).

Can't wait!!! I'm going to hold onto my 2011 till at least mid summer. Let some of the hype from the 2013 wear off and then see if I can pick one up for close to invoice. If not I'll be really happy with my 2011 until the 2015 Mustang comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
