Today is going to be a pretty busy one for those with a huger for 2020 GT500 news. Last week Ford held its first official Press Drive for it's latest Snake Car in Las Vegas. Those in attendance were sworn to secrecy until today. In this thread we're going to try to aggregate all the best articles and videos in one place for you to enjoy:

Stop trying to swing your dick around and post some times then.

I made a comment about the reported 1/4 mile time.

there are no lap times to comment on. I’m not going to say it will do this or that until I see some times, why is that hard to understand?

There’s vid of it going sub 1:22 at grattan. The viper acr record there’s is 1:21.xx

Ignorance isn’t an excuse to be rude. Due your own due dillegence before talking shit on stuff or people will kick your ass with facts and bust your balls with insults.

Car is compared to 911 gt2’s in top rags. It’s fast

Currently with just quick skimming of recent posts it’s easy to see the rather rave reviews it’s getting from various people who have driven it. I’m not sure why you need times to know this is a more well rounded car then a GT with a blower.

you’re just grasping at straws and looking for any reason to negate the quality of this GT500. It’s leaps and bounds above previous iterations. i get it, I personally have stated before I feel Ho hum about it for some reason, likely because of how long it was in the works for, but I wouldn’t say a blown GT is anything to even discuss in comparison
 
Must be BlqHole in account over here. The car is fast. period. Lap times are going to be good. Dam good. Then of course the argument will be "well only the CFTP can do that, and its 100 million billion dollars ! I'm not paying that for a mustang !" Of course that argument is already taking shape on other forums. Of course you can mod a Honda to go 9's. When though did you see a car UNDER 85k go mid 10's (IN BAD DA) on STOCK TIRES ???? Also 133mph. Even if we kick evans run out, in Vegas, Stangmode and his friend both went over 131 with cars that were idling in the heat....Its always funny how peopl omit certain things when they want to talk about something and make their point valid.

They went 132 there, and Stangmode got a 1.77 60ft on mp4’s...

The hateraid is strong, but Ford took the bar to a very high level

It’s faster than a pump gas street tire demon in a straight line, and laps like a Porsche on a circuit.

Competition improves the breed. Base mustangs and Camaros for $30k have 90’s-2000’s ss and gt performance with very decent interiors and features.

Take a $35-40k mustang gt today and compare it to an 03 cobra. Without inflation you’re already getting 11.9@120 (10a), great handling, great interior. Now factor inflation and you have $13k in your pocket.

Bam.

The gt500 seems expensive at $107k fully loaded, then you compare it o a 911 gt2 and it’s $200k cheaper.

Compare a gt350r to a 911gt3

Compare a mustang gt pp2 with a bmw m4 gts

Compare a zl1 1le with a amg gt

Compare a demon to a Chiron

Get my point? Bitch about price all you want, these cars all kick ass in their segment and speak for themselves loud and tall
 
This argument always makes me lol. Just like in 2013/2014 when all these people were like "I'm not paying that much for a Mustang. I can just supercharge my GT or I can just add this and make more HP then that". Such a dumb argument really. If that's all that matters, then why don't we just stop making or buying new cars altogether and just keep moding Fox body stangs since ya know, there are plenty of those running 8s and 9s?

Just like 13/14, that introduced better cooling, CF driveshaft, etc., it's not all about the final HP number. Read the reviews so far of the 2020. They are saying things like this is one of the best sports cars in the world right now. It's getting compared to Porsche best sports cars. That means something. The 2020 isn't just 760hp and 1/4. Sure, slap a blower on your Coyote and run 9s. The 2020 will outshine it still in every single other area you could pit against it.

Not quite.

The 13/14 was a complete and total step away from a Mustang GT. The engine was not even based on the same architecture. Trans different, everything literally different.

The 2020 car is a coyote-based supercharged motor. Bad AF, yes. But much closer to what the aftermarket is already producing vs. the differentiation that the 13/14 cars showed against a Mustang GT.

I guess you think that its the only importance (since you mentioned it twice to two individuals).

The thread is titled with a quarter mile run so as it pertains to this discussion......... yeah?

Makes the website look much cleaner:

Wow.. you actually put people on ignore? I thought that was reserved for the 6th graders who dont like what the other Fortnite Live players are saying.

Interesting.

Either that, or he's simply saying he thought the 1/4 times would be more impressive.

Seems pretty simple to me. Maybe it's you folks who are grasping.

He expected 9s? From a stock car that was not at all squared away for drag racing only?

maybe there are some unrealistic views going on here.
 
Could be, but I think drag guys are more interested in an impressive mph number which truly represents the power the car is making.

IDK. 2020 GT500 is impressive, no 2 ways about it.
 
I just finished watch Doug D's review of the Grabber Lime CFTP car, amazing that even at the end he still mentions the lack of a manual for this car.

Is it that hard to accept that this car has the DCT?? I don't think Ford really wants anyone reviewing this car or talking about it in written publications or social media to have them mentioning manual gearboxes.

Where is the laptimer data that supports that 1:22 time? That's right, it doesn't exist.

So yer blind, got it. The vids up, it’s unedited, and the car rolls by under 1:22. You can use the Internet, I’m not bothering with this blatant laziness

@DBK am I wrong? Has the gt500 with the carbon package not gone sub 1:22 at grattan? I’m guessing verification is being handled and filed but I don’t know how that process works.
 
For the demon fans


“The timing lights were off but we ran high 10’s at almost 130 all day.”

Considering the gt500 is on street tires with 180-220tw, and the demons were on drag radials, that’s impressive that the gt500’a we’re running the same and better mph, with nearly the same 1/4 mile et’s.

For that guy saying lap times blah blah blah just know that the guy here in this vid named Carlos was describing the gt500 as Porsche like, meanwhile while he had nothing negative to say about the demon, he definitely wasn’t as enthusiastic about it as he was about this

There is no data overlay in that video from a laptimer (Aim SOLO or VBOX,etc) so I do take it with a grain of salt.

I am not saying the GT500 isn't fast....but it is hilarious to come up with laptimes based on a video.

Quite frankly, people put too much weight into these laptimes. Unless you are competing in a time attack or a race, I don't see why it matters to most people.

The car passes the start line at xxx

1 minute and 21 seconds and xxx milliseconds later, it passes the same line again.

There’s no rocket science here. Arguably it’s a 1:20.xxx lap time based on some breakdowns. I’m saying 1:21.xxx to leave all the wiggle rooms

I will say I have no idea how clean a lap the gt500 ran though. If he mowed the lawn by 3 years west or east of an apex at like 150mph to straighten out a chicane or something, obviously I can’t see that from the angles provided, but you’d probably see 75lbs of grass clipping in and around the bottom of the car if they had, well and likely some serious broken ass lower valances and splitters

Yeah. No data = don't care.
 
There will be data when Pobst does his thing same day scenario, till then, doesnt really matter. BUT the unofficial Grattan time is still impressive and paints a picture
