Latest Drivetrain and Horsepower Speculation?

I was just being whiny pants. I'm holding off on a '13-'14 to see what the new one will be
725 HP; 6 speed with optional 10 speed auto.
Alll around fast car.
Wondering what the chance is that ford would offer two options, either a Drag pack or a Track pack. It would be nice to see them offer specific people their bag. I choose track pack, but I know there are a lot of guys that would gobble up the drag, especially if it took off .5 seconds!

Love the original mad max car
Some interesting stuff in this thread.
Are they going to reveal something at the NAIAS in Detroit?

That's too long away. Can they announce something next weekend?
I’m sure they could if they want too. But I just see them doing it some where big.

Didn't they announce the '13 GT500 at the LA show? I think that's the earliest.

4.8 would be a tremendous fail and be a no sale for me. I don't give a crap how much hp from the factory, potential with upgrades would fall way short of competition.
Modding up to 1,000+ HP isn't enough? McLaren doesn't seem to be having any problems making whatever power level they want from their little 3.8L V8. Plenty of people are making 700+ with Audi's 4L V8.

What's the point of dimishing returns for rwd horsepower on street tires?
Can one run as fast or faster 1320 with 800 VS 1000hp on street tires?

Depends on the tire and traction control but yes 1000hp should trap better than 800hp and have much greater potential with a prepped track on competition rubber.
We've already seen one OEM have DRs and I'd personally love a return of the Drag Pak option from the past.

If we were to get a 4.8, I would have to think it would need to be twin turbo. GM is supposed to have a new 6.2L DOHC that is going in the Vette, and likely the Camaro. It's rumored that Dodge will offer the non race tune Demon engine to their lineup. Who knows if the latter will wind up in a lighter vehicle. I just don't think a S/C 4.8 will be able to hang with the competition mod for mod.
