Then I wouldn't be able to afford one of those, either.

Ford doesn't want to make 100,000 GT500s. They want to make around 5,000.

Black_F6, I envy your purchasing power.

Great article, but I was referring to the difference between Coyote and 4.6 mod.

The 5.8, while more than just a bore to 93.5mm, is very close the the 5.4, all the castings are the same with revisions to piece-parts

The same author wrote an equally in-depth article on the 5.0 when it came out, but I can't seem to find it on the site. It's more than a year old, of course.

Or would HQ tell us Aussies to ****-off and make your own?

Sounds about right.

Don't be fooled by the title. This is by no means an "attack" on the 'Ring.

But it's the first time I've noticed the quad exhaust tips.

So cool it's sick.

Checked out the link for the 2nd time. *sigh*.......sweet.

When pics of the 2013 first showed up I remember noticing the quad exhaust and mentioned it to someone. We also noticed the sequential tail lights and the front end. I'd love to test this car out! Maybe one day.

All Mustangs have had sequential taillights since the 2010 model year.

But I don't think quad exhaust outlets have been offered since at least the 1970 model year!

I want one!


*sigh*............like it reads in the article, "it's the ultimate 'because' racecar."


I want one!

Yes it's capable. Yes it's brutal and beautiful at the same time. Would I race it? The answer is almost 100% no, well, drive fast is a definite yes. But it's sweet to know what it could do and that it's mine!

I still want one.

Moby Vic said in an earlier comment that the new 5.8 is based on the 5.4

The back wheels of the new GT500 would be ballistic I would imagine. Ford Au now have an engine they could use to bring back (yes, here we go... again) the legendary GT-HO which would put the HSV W427 to shame if they could get it to handle well enough.

I don't think Engine tech has ever been a problem. the amount of redesign required to Falcon Chassis and Driveline, might be the limiting factor.

All they'd have to do is switch it back to a live axle. ;)

I've started a savings account

the GT500 blasts from 0-60 mph in a scant 3.5 seconds, on toward a quarter-mile time of 11.6 seconds at 125.7 mph
