[QUOTE="HISSMAN, post: 3141790, member: 9703"] MPG... This is what I am thinking about. Ford can get by with the GT making 21 MPG, but the GT500 will need to be close to that or better on the Highway for the class of car that it is. I can't see it passing emissions with less than 21 mpg highway. So I look at it like this. The engine has a similar potential as the Ford GT, but something will have to give either in the tune or something that will get it in compliance. The GT500 weighs more, and is less aerodynamic than the Ford GT, so that will hurt it's MPG as well. I don't know if this will indeed have any bearing. Maybe they will put it on the street making sub 20 MPG highway, which would be close to 11-12 or so in the city. This is just a thought I had, and I really don't know what the facts are, but some of you with more knowledge might be able to give this some light. -Jeff [/QUOTE]
