New GT500 leak...

That data sheet could likely be correct but you cant take those for certain until it is officially stated. Looks like they have the horsepower listed there the same as what is being said so there is a good chance the rest is correct too, but still.
Well then explain to me why it weighs 4000+ lbs... If you want to compare lap times of stripper cars that weighed 3k affordably 15 years ago to the lap times of the overweight pigs these days then be my guest lol. They weigh what they do because of needed safety regs not the 40lbs worth of stereos. To make a car pass all that safety and have high performance/low weight it takes an extreme amount of money.
Feel free to prove me wrong with facts.
Im sure there will be
Nothing about trans options
You sir, get a cookie. Having seen what can't be shared without breaking promises and losing friends I can honestly say that everyone will soon learn more about why the openings are so large. Until 8:40am....how's this?
Big power needs big air
It certainly looks a lot better at that angle. I wonder if Chicane23/Tiger Racing is developing any parts for the GT500 since they had that brochure in advance. I know they partnered with Cortex Racing when the S550 GT was released.

I understand that between adding all the coolers and heavy duty stuff combined with ever increasing saftey standards that we'll never see a truely light mustang again but it seems like its getting out of control. Ford has been building aluminum F-150s for 5 model years now, you'd think that they've got the tech down well enough to do an all aluminum mustang to shed a couple hundred lbs without the cost getting out of control. Reducing weight helps literally every performance and effeciency measure.
As for the rumor or no manual trans its sad because I'm a die hard stick shift guy however I can imangine that they didn't meat the performance figures they were chasing with a stick shift and they probably don't produce a transmission that can handle the power. I don't know how the tremec in the GT350 holds up to power but the MT82 certainly should never be put into anything as high powed as this GT500 (IMO the tremec in the shelby should be the trans in all V8 mustangs)

There was never a 2019 gt500 and there will never be a 2020 gt500.....lol...
What?
It'll be dct only.
I hope the Ford exhibition this morning justifies putting the snake dead center.
Do not like.
Rest looks okay, not mind-blowing like the 13s reveal, but this body style hasn’t grown on me as much.

I’m thinking the large opening may have some active aero functionality too.
What! No Ma’amual?! Quick someone create a meme....
I must have missed it if someone already pointed this out, but it has hood pins
Wrong! Those are hood latch coolers.
