speedrx Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 2018 Ford GT500 to borrow twin turbo 3.5 liter V6 from Ford GT ! I am assuming this is more of a hope or wish on someones part than a fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 If it's true it's funny. Used to be the big dog in displacement was the 500. If true, the 350 will have the 5.0 and the 500 the 3.5. How things have changed. I'm so glad I got an '08. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakshow12 Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 I'm glad I got my 14. I despise the ecoboost trucks and I feel the 15 super snake is a slap in the face. Next addition will maybe be a hellcat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twobjshelbys Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Yeah, more gobbledygook from the "usually unreliable sources". I won't even waste time trying to explain why this would be illogical. Edited July 2, 2015 by twobjshelbys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't even waste time trying to explain why this would be illogical. You're probably right. I think they tell me this stuff just to purposely mess with Dodge and Chevy !

Hlyshft Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 A twin turbo V6 in a near future GT500 would definitely pave the way to a distant future hybrid version. http://www.forbes.com/sites/toddwoody/2012/06/20/an-all-electric-ford-mustang-shelby-gt500/ http://www.essentialstyleformen.com/rides/classicgarage/classicgreen-garage-renovo-coupe/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmcmotorworks Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Very interesting ! It's almost as if they ( Ford ) throw little tidbits of information out there just to stir things up or test market reaction !

TheKurgan Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Eco or no, the fastest car will win. I like V8's but to win you have to be the fastest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hlyshft Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Eco or no, the fastest car will win. I like V8's but to win you have to be the fastest. Why does that sound so familiar?

08KR525 Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 They can put twin turbos on a V6, but the same thing can be done to a V8. In the end there's no replacement for displacement. It just comes down to how much money you're willing to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakshow12 Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Here's what I learned from many years of snowmobile racing and just playing with cars. Guys would build a hot 600cc sled to run with the 7/800s and may win occasionally, but they were broken more than that ran. Do you really think a high boost v6 is going to live as long as a low boost v8 at the same power level? Not likely! Same goes in the trucks. I like the 5.0 f150s and have had 2. My friends all got Eco boosts and complain about them being in the shop/ poor mileage/ leaks. Most have switched. I think the 07-14 gt500s will maintain an edge in performance, ease of modification and resale for years to come if they offer an eco boost 500. That's just me though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Freaks how12 I couldn't agree more. The little engine has to work a lot harder to make the power that the bigger one makes. It's simple physics. I've got a '97 F350 Power Stroke. It has just turned 30k miles. Anytime I get it out I get multiple offers to buy it. The original Power Stroke was a helluva an engine as far as power and reliability. It was also the biggest version as far as displacement. The newer smaller versions have been plagued with all sorts of issues. Sometimes you just can't build a better mousetrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawwy600 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I believe the next GT500 will be ecoboost but time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobraken Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 I tell all my river friends"you can put nitrous or a turbo on a Weedeater,in the end you can cut the grass faster,but it's still a weedeater. I have never, and hopefully will never,own any mustang that doesn't have 8 cylinders. My $.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
