According to that leaked Engine oil document up to 2020 it's called a GT500 with a 5.2 supercharged motor.
Put down a deposit on next "GT500"?
- Thread starter Pointby
- Start date
According to the document there is no 5.0?
Seems odd
Or am I blind, or too cynical ?
CORRECTION-I missed it buried with the other 5w20 users....

4th box down has 5.0 listed.
So are you going to add a Whipple to your R ?
Thinking of doing the same(mine is a lowly tech pack) especially if the GT 500 is "only" going to be a supercharged 5.2.-Probably will have the 5.2 alluminator XS with lowered compression/TVS 2650.
Not sure it's enough to give up my other 2 15 GT's for .
Sleeved 5.2/Hellion TT/built auto (was hoping ford would build it with factory drive ability)and sleeved 5.2/3.2 KB/Magnum XL .
Guess I already built my GT500's!
Looks like you’re set already.
I’m leaving my 350R stock. Will wait and see exactly what’s coming in January, then make a decision if I wanna add it.

Now you’ve done it!
Ford should come out with more information on the next performance Mustang before I order a widebody Hellcat(which I might very soon, for well under MSRP)
Buy the hellcat now then wait for the mustangs price to maybe fall back to earth.
I try and try to like the widebody Hellcat Challenger, but I cannot. Those flares on there make the car look weird in my opinion. Same with the Demon. (Now I'm not saying I don't like either car. I just don't like the flares.)
The Hellcat Challenger minus the widebody is gorgeous. Especially the front end, it's very mean looking.
You’ll probably lose more on the tax and depreciation of the HC than a reasonable adm charge.
It doesn't mean they can't be run on the same line. It's going to be similar overall dimensions and outside of the install of hybrid components the assembly will be pretty much the exact same.
Only you can make that choice.
I’d only recommend waiting 2 months to see where the advantages of the hellcat widebody are.
We can be fairly certain it will have more room than the gt500.
All the other stuff, from what was leaked, there will be no other advantages, other than - most likely cost.

If you want to wager it doesn’t turn out to happen this way, I’d do a friendly bet with you. How about $1.?
For me personally I’d never pay an adm on anything no matter what.
Thankfully the Ford dealers here have a hard time selling the GT350. They are discounted here. The R usually goes for over list, but 5k over or so. I don't think I will have a problem buying the next Ford Performance Mustang at MSRP or less.
I am holding off on the widebody because according to Resumespeed, PCP will be available to order(lata avail.) and I want that colour the most. Second choice would be F8 green.
I would be surprised if they brought pcp back so soon but with dodge you never know.
It is available on the Demon already, but late availability. I think there is some confusion if it will be offered on the Hellcat as well. I know when the ordering guide for the 2018 came out, F8 Green was not available to order and now it is. I guess my confusion(and many others) is how late "late avail." is. I like Ford and have a great relationship with my dealer but I don't really want two Mustangs from the same generation I think anyhow
F8 ftw
Well, I went and did it. Put down $500 deposit. Refundable only if the car is not produced. #1 in line at my dealership. Have printed and signed receipt that says: "1 Shelby GT500 at MSRP". FIngers crossed it gets announced at the NAIAS.
I called the local dealer that I ordered a 2014 GT500 from at MSRP. I asked about getting put on the list for the upcoming GT500, he said no problem, give him a check for $1,000 and I would be first on the list. Oh, by the way there will be at least a $10,000 ADM. I said thanks, but no thanks. They didn't start charging ADMs until the GT350 came on the scene.
I guess if I want a supercharged V-8 with an auto trans, I will have to look elsewhere.
