2013 GT500 - Media Launch Video/SVT Interview

[Boss3o2]

Found this on Youtube, and thought you guys would get a kick out of it. For those that think the 2013 is just a "HP" increased car. Think again. This video shows the amount of R&D and changes they made to target a 200 MPH car, getting it balance and able to deliver the power to the ground, while making it a streetable car.

Great job, SVT and Ford!! These are definitely going to be some years, for us Motorheads to remember!

Enjoy ...

tailshaft housing, someone asked me to picture that.. can I do it from underneath?

edit: sorry, just snagging random bits from the movie to make note

7:30-7:40.......HUGE words from that guy

One thing I've noticed thus far..... none of the jouranlists have cracked up a GT500 on the track like they did with the "superior handling" ZL1 with it's magnetic ride IRS created on the forges of Olympus by the the Gods themselves.

Wonder why that is?

 

[Detroit Iron]

Simply badass! Great job Ford and SVT. Starting at 55K, this thing is one of the biggest performance bargains EVER. I can't think of a "mass produced" American car that has had more power or torque from the factory...that is saying a lot!

great great post!!!! lots of info and man that thing sounds absolutely mean!!!! wow the factory sound is shocking, it also looked pretty planted on the course. Obviously they are not driving it all out like a pro would, but hell looked good to me....I CAN NOT WAIT!!!! :rockon:

This video is awesome! Love how the guy in the end tells boss 302s to watch out lol

I can't believe how throaty and loud this thing is with nothing done to it.

Seriously seriously surprised.

Awesome video of an amazing car. I have to admit I cringed a little when he started talking about simulations....

 

[SGMPhil]

:beer:

At least SVT's simulations appear to have been correct.

Once again, Kerry Baldori lays it all out. SVT/Ford is lucky to have him on their team and so are we. While I wanted a deeper look I guess that'll have to do for now. My fingers are crossed that Tom Wilson and 5.0 magazine once again bring more tech than anyone else.

I believe 'that guy' to be Jim Kenzie.

All in all, a great video. Thanks for posting it up Eric! Required viewing for all '13 aficionados and now a sticky.

 

[svtfocus2cobra]

They've really done a good job at just giving us enough to hold us over. I can't wait to see the final numbers and how well this car performs at the track, both strip and open track.

 

[honcho_44]

Very true! Every time I hear about Al O and his simulations I can't help but think about Down Periscope, "brave men and their proud simulators"!

 

[Draiter]

I believe 'that guy' to be Jim Kenzie.

You would be correct sir.

 

[72MachOne99GT]

Thanks, I figured he was a member of automotive media, but had no clue who he actually was.

Seems to be impressed though.

Sucks, because I was hoping the '13 GT500 would be a 'one trick pony.'

Nice video! His heart was with the Boss though. ;-)

 

[Agent-GHQ]

Now that I can afford one, I'm still debating whether I should get this 2013 GT500 or the 2013 M3

 

[fiascoes1]

interesting! he said the carbon fiber drive shaft was a key for the car reaching the 200mph mark:banana:
