400# could largely be taken up by the supercharger/intercooler/water tank setup they are going to run. It's probably going to be a water/air intercooler with heat exchangers in the intake manifold, so the IM will probably be revised (heavier) also. And then there's the added weight of a DCT compared to a manual.... They end up at 4,200# because the Mustang already starts out as a porker.

Over 4000lbs??? I will be keeping my gt350.
Dropped nearly 80 lbs by switching to forged wheels from the OEM wheels. People are getting close to that HP with 3lbs of boost if I ever wanted to add power....and at much less weight (less than 100lbs?) than what would be close to 500lbs difference. The new engine reverts to a normal crank. No way. As much as I hate the visability, I would go with the track built camero for less money over this car at those specs. |

The GT500 just seems like a numbers car to go after the Hellcat. As a perspective, the Hellcat is nearly 4500 lbs. The ZL1 at least sits under 4000 lbs (barely, depending on trim).

Of course you will. You'd be a fool to ditch a Boss 302 for a previous GT500, too. GT500s are specifically designed for the Clarksons of the world that need a supercharger to boost their ego. The GT500 is bunch of beefy parts added to a GT. The GT350 is a bunch of lightweight bespoke parts upgrading a GT with minimal weight gain. There's a line forming right now to be the first bonehead to pour $100k into heavy chrome wheels, faux Hurst automatic shift levers, and airbrushed eagles on chameleon paint on a GT500 for their Instagram story.

I don't care how fast it is, that weight... What, did Ford decide to go "retro" and switch to an iron block ala Terminator Cobra? Guess they gave up bringing the fight to GM in the ponycar wars, it's easier to pick on Dodge.

I'll be shocked if the next GT500 comes to market without a proper manual. I don't doubt that the DCT will be an option alongside it, though. Hopefully Ford steps up their transmission game and third parties a quality transmission rather than trying to build another one in China.

The Hellcat has a manual, I'd be shocked if the GT500 didn't.

Images have surfaced from the Ford dealer meeting this week which purportedly show the 2020 Mustang GT500 ahead of its debut. We have no way of confirming these images are legitimate, but Automotive News reported on Sunday that Ford was holding a conference for its US dealer network sometime this week. They don’t look photoshopped to our eye, though, and the vehicle pictured has similar details to Shelby GT500 prototype vehicles that have been caught testing this year. They were first posted by Instagram user sinister_lifestyle, but are spreading around the social media platform. The GT500 pictured has the familiar blue and white color scheme, along with a huge grill, massive front intakes, a Mustang GT350-style front splitter and a GT350 R-style rear wing. Ford previously announced in a tweet that the 2019 Mustang GT500 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit this upcoming January. The tweet also indicated the Hellcat and ZL1-rivalling muscle car would have “more than 700 hp projected.” It’s not completely clear what may be in store for the powertrain, but you can definitely expect some sort of forced induction V8 to show up. The GT500 will make its official debut in a few months, so stay tuned for official details. [Source: sinister_lifestyle on Instagram via Jalopnik |

The drill reminds me of the Dodge Charger grill. It’s not bad but I’m not in love with it.

2019 Ford Shelby GT500
2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 VIN 001 to be auctioned at Barrett-Jackson
Proceeds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Automakers have a long history of auctioning off special cars at major auctions, and the proceeds generally go to a worthy charity. That familiar scenario is set to repeat as Ford puts the very first production Shelby GT500 up for auction at the 2019 Barrett-Jackson event on January 18, 2019, in Arizona. That's just four days after the car's planned debut at the rapidly approaching Detroit Auto Show. Ford hasn't yet given up all the details for its latest super-powered pony car. We know it will have more than 700 horsepower, and that those horses will from a supercharged V8 engine. Rumors point to a version of the 5.2-liter engine found in the GT350, minus that car's flat-plane crankshaft, topped with a 2.65-liter Eaton supercharger that pumps out 12 psi of boost. We've heard reports of both six-speed manual and seven-speed dual-clutch gearboxes routing all that power to the rear wheels. The winner of Lot 3,008 will get the chance to option out their GT500 any way they see fit. But they won't actually take possession of the car for a while – Ford says the 2020 Shelby GT500 will start filtering out to the public in the fall of 2019. Ford says it donates more than $2 million annually to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, which is the charity that will receive proceeds from the GT500 bearing VIN 001. The automaker has contributed a total of $60 million to the JDRF over the last 35 years. Toyota plans to auction off the very first 2020 Supra at Barrett-Jackson, too. Proceeds of that sale will be donated to the American Heart Association and the Bob Woodruff Foundation. Here's hoping both of these special vehicles bring in a healthy amount for their respective charities. https://www.autoblog.com/amp/2018/12...rrett-jackson/ |

The more interesting part to this for me is the announcement about the 2020 Supra being auctioned. |

I'm not sure the point of having a "press release" of a car without the stats being hammered out yet. Figure they would go hand in hand. I get they don't want someone to eek them out by 5 HP prior to the release but come on.
I'm hoping to have my 19 GT paid off by the end of this model cycle. If I do this will be its replacement. Heck if my 2k rattle gets a by back I'd be interested in making up the difference cost wise without ADM. |

Its possible to be close to the gt350r / track pack in weight. Essentially they are adding a blower, and cooling.

What is Ford thinking putting that rotary shifter straight from a Fusion into a car like this?
