supersnake94 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I may be overreacting, but it looks like the 2013 GT500 has three different superchargers This pic shows the 2013 with the same Eaton M122 as the GT500 from 2007-12. Is it just a 5.4 in a 2013 ody? This one shows the engine taken apart with a TVS These two pictures show an Eaton TVS only this one looks a bit different and has 5.8 and SVT on it. So will we know what the actual supercharger looks like under the hood in the engine bay? Will the third supercharger with the 5.8 and SVT on it be the supercharger that we see in the 2013?

JeffJ Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Pretty typical being this early before the cars hit the showrooms. I imagine there are quite a few parts which will be different from what you are seeing now. You are correct that the show car has the current Eaton supercharger, not a TVS. They probably did not want anybody to notice that. The engine layout picture was probably a standard TVS before they had the custom Ford SVT TVS. Pretty normal. I would imagine that the last one is what you will see. That one may be a prototype also, so the final product may be even different than that.

bpmurr Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Wonder if they put the 5.8 on the supercharger to keep earlier GT500 owners from buying them second hand for much less than the FRPP 2.3 kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braztang Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I had observed that as well, but kept quiet as I was affraid to BELIEVE it would be the same! I hope they DO put the EATON TVS with the 5.8 SVT on it. Safe ride, braztang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowShelby Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 The car at the show (and in those pics) is a mule. It has the 2011/2012 drivetrain in it. The motor on the stand is the correct motor with "5.8" and "SVT" on it, hence why it is 2013gt500 specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
