[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 15792291, member: 68944"] Even if it just gets the 10a, it’ll be a mid 10 car off the showroom. It’ll have more tire, 250+hp, and possibly more slippery aero than the current gt’s. Those are already running 12.5@115 (manual magazine) to 11.8@120 (even smith, auto). We can ponder all of this: •460hp vs 710 to 750hp •275mm 300tw tire (2018 gt) vs a 315 200tw (gt350R tire) •the last car was comfortably running mid 11’s@125 with 662hp, 3850lbs, 56/44 distribution, and 285 220tw tires, and most importantly a stick. Just put a 6r80 auto and drag radial tires on that car and it would be in the 10’s. Drag racers have nothing to worry about. Honestly the 2013/14 gt500 was geared so long that it made for a less rewarding track day experience anyways, and Ford has the purists car in the gt350r, the gt350, the Gt manual pp2, and soon the bullitt. If they offered it as auto only, the manual buyers will probably just buy up gt350’s or gt’s Or bullitts and be fine or add fi if they want big power and a manual. Only people that’ll feel slighted are bench racers and people that can’t afford the car anyways. [/QUOTE]
