William Rodgers Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 The none track optioned car is said to have a much smaller spoiler with a gurney flap, that is the one I want to see. There are pictures of a silver one that appears to have it, but all the pictures I see are from the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the wing and the carbon fiber wheels are only for the top end package, don't remember what it is called off the top of my head.

SoCalSGT Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Ever tried resting your hand on a knob? It's just wrong. I drove my friend's Expedition with a shift knob...awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting someone is already planning an add-on shifter for that very reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhr1961 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) yeah its gonna be fun watching somebody try and parallel park 750+ hp with that wonky Radio Dial Shifter.......or try and "rock" the car to get it out of loose gravel, mud or snow........or what about the guy sitting in traffic or driving slowly and his idiot girlfriend reaches over without asking and switches that Big Radio Dial from "D" for Dance Music to "R" for Rap Music, or "N" for New wave Music, or "P" for Pop Music........... From a tactile or intuitive Feedback Loop there is nothing intuitive about turning a dial left to right to go forward or backwards..........there is a reason a parachute has a Rip Cord and not a Rip Dial......complex Motor Movements go out the window real quick when under stress. They should have stuck with a Stick Selector in the console and Paddle's on the Wheel, its more intuitive......but hey it freed up console space so a millennial hipster has room to plunk down his Iphone, latte and avocado toast in the console area.............

SoCalSGT Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Yep...I have room for all those things right now, along with the shifter, although I don't usually partake of avo toast and lattes, but there's room if I did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think it's about damned time they got a DCT in a mustang. Best of both worlds for drag, track, and roads. You do realize there are A LOT OF MUSTANGS 2018-2019 w/ the 10r80 and using Whipples with anywhere from 700hp-850hp so the 10r80 can handle it. I am just excited the GT500 has an Automatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhr1961 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 So what. The published spec from Ford and GM on the Ford 10r80/GM 10L80 is 590 ft-lbs of torque. If you go beyond that with Hp adders that deliver torque that exceeds the max recommended torque and it holds up then fine.......... but you are likely going to get premature or catastrophic failure if you exceed those numbers. Yeah, let’s trust anecdotal “evidence” and claims from the internet ………..instead of 2 large teams of Engineers from both GM and Ford that jointly designed and tested this transmission for several years.........

Just look at all the 07-12 GT500 tranny issues (which I’m sure Ford doesn’t want to repeat). Besides, I’ll take the control and speed of a DCT over a straight up 10 speed any day. The 10r80 will see plenty of use in the rest of Ford and GM’s vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Johnston Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 So the trans selection is based on track handling and torque inmits. There is hope for a manual. I would expect, like the DCT, it will be something colaborated with GM for those potential Z 'Vette buyers that want a manual too. https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-shows/detroit-auto-show/a25889205/2020-ford-mustang-shelby-gt500-dct-manual-possible/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhr1961 Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) It is not necessary that they collaborate on a manual transmission, most if not all of the collaboration has been on the automatic which is the biggest market, but anything is possible. Quite frankly, I think 3 pedals will be almost non existent in the market within 5 to 7 years for passenger cars.

William Rodgers Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) Here is a picture of the one without the track pack option, I like it better. I can’t find any pictures from the side or back, but that is clearly the smaller spoiler. Edited January 19, 2019 by carnut12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tek you should photo shop that picture and colour that black piece of the bumper body colour...Bet it looks much better splitting that gapping grill.
