I hope so, the 2013-14 had no gas tax and we paid for it with a useless 6th gear and a 3.31 rear gear.
GT 500 Details
- Thread starter Lacquer
- Start date
Does the DCT have engine braking?
just like all transmissions, yes
Great question!!! I forgot about the stupid gas tax.
I hope not! Expect to pay another $1,500-$2,000 on the final price if there is.
just like all transmissions, yes
I guess that explains why most of the cars in front of me on a down hill run are riding their brakes and I don't have to.
Thats because traffic sheep leave it in D and coast down hills. Downshift and that changes. Im always downshifting and riding the engine down hills in my 6AT gm work van
GT500... future proofed?
I haven't read all of the posts... but had a thought about the GT500 HP figures not being released. Would there be a possibility that they don't ever get released as Ford continually run a program of updated tunes and upgrades centrally... kind of like Tesla releasing the Ludicrous mode via wifi, but retaining the warranty or Ferrari 'owning' your FXX . So you could buy your GT500 with 750hp and over time its performance would increase with new tunes, warrantied as long as you retained certified CAI's etc.

I went to Michelins website and they don't list a 315/30/20 tire for PS4 or the Cup 2, if that is the case, Michelin may be making them for Ford.
Base is 305/30/20 fronts and 315/30/20 rears. I assume the carbon track pack wheel are the same or perhaps with 315 fronts.
From the preview brochure.
Not saying I agree but an interesting take nonetheless.
I took his before and after and giffed.

interesting, but quit watching 30s after he said "obviously #3" , and then applies #2 to all the aspects he changes. #2 appeals more to me, and why 500 is shaped the way it is. he did a 'form study" but must have forget form follows function. I do like the modification done to the underheadlight portion, but again, exactly #2 in application
A minor detail but a detail nonetheless....SID297 was in contact with me from Detroit as the GT500 was unveiled. One of the things he mentioned to me was that he wasn't certain but that it appeared as though the cam covers on the GT500 5.2L variant may be out of aluminum. Well, I just saw something in print regarding this...

Anyway, I thought it kinda neat that we'd finally have an aluminum cam cover to choose from, that is all.
*Note- I don't know who "Morgan" is and I believe the author meant to refer to Carl Widmann.

What material did Ford use for the GT350 valve covers?
I've also been looking for more Gurney Flap photos with it attached to the "Swing" spoiler. I have a couple that I've posted but I just realized that Ford flashed another glance of it in the video game preview they did at the live reveal in Detroit. Best crop I could make and this is with some shake reduction I did in Photoshop...
May I ask the name of said "video game"?
