Push back from dealers? No.
We're selling the hell out of $80k+ Super Duties and Expeditions.
Who's your source on that nonsense?
Please, for the love of God, don't let this start again.

I heard his source's uncle died, but left all of his secrets in a chest, in the basement, in a vault, of a house in the Philippines.
This car with the adm’s will be pushing 6 figures. Guaran****inteed.
What’s exciting you the most regarding this fine picture good sir? I’m very impressed with the front shoes honestly. I’m a bit tired so I’m not seeing much else to really chime in on
DCT? With the predicted power, I'd be really surprised to see a DCT type transmission. Almost all of the other manufacturers are switching to torque-converter automatics because the DCT cannot reliably handle the power being thrown at them--and it's nowhere near 700+hp with respectable torque.
I sincerely hope the power numbers are correct, and I sincerely hope ford puts a DCT in the GT500!
Side note: There are others on here that have been discounting everyone else's information without providing any of their own, saying they couldn't let the cat out of the bag yet. Well, looks like MT will let it out soon, so if you really have any credible information now is the time to put up or shut up so to speak.
No because that's not true DBK, he directly worked on the carbon fiber wing to ensure there was adequate downforce...I have had zero reason to lie.
Go ahead and post proof, any proof, you have of the countless times you have discredited many others without providing any yourself.
No reason not to with the article hitting the stands very soon, nobody to get upset with you since Ford gave it all to Motor Trend...so yeah, unless you have some proof to share, you aren't any more reliable than anyone else you have discredited.
... Hell, I've had people on here tell me it was going to be a MY 2020 and despite me showing replies to me from the official Ford Performance and Ford Motor Company twitter accounts saying it was a MY 2019. Now we had a Motor Trend magazine cover leak with July 2018 printed on it...and people still think it will be a 2020.
...
Yeah, it's absolutely 100% true.

"Have you ever heard of a guy named Steve Walton?"
"No."
That was the extent of the conversation, which is what I figured it would be. Sorry man, but whatever your buddy did, you've continually had a metric ton of bad info that I'm sure you believe but is wrong.
I watched a video this morning from the Mustang GT PP2 press event, and when asked about the new GT500, the Ford rep specifically said expect something in 2019. That could very well make it a 2020 model year car.
Good story. I knew you wouldn't have anything to share with us as usual.
You always just duck around the whole posting any sort of proof whatsoever of any of our info being wrong and you being right.
Guess you can't be wrong if you just tell everyone else is wrong huh?
It will be a model 2018, not sure why OP put 17 because that ship has sailed. Just be a little patient, I'd expect an announcement after a little Demon noise settles down.
I fully expect the announcement in June for the 2018 GT500 available this October. The newest set of spy pics revealed on G6 should show you it's going to be ready. We've been seeing this test mule for quite some time and with the info I've received, it's about done.
Supposed to make announcement in June.
I was told by an engineer to expect an announcement in June so I'm passing that along. I wouldn't say July unless I was told different.
5.0 with twin 62mm turbos...same one I've been posting for quite some time now (with the small exception where I was told by someone on here about a blown 5.2...I knew there were 2 motors concurrently in development, and that they were leaning towards blown 5.2 for cost cutting: but that changed when the demon was revealed apparently).
Ok, doubt all you want, just passing on info from an employee. Do you really think that SVT only works on one engine at a time? LOL.
Still sticking to my original info: 2018 GT500, TT 5.0, 10 spd auto...will be announced very soon I'm told.
I was told on May 29th by my source to expect an announcement in 4 to 6 weeks, so I imagine it should be pretty soon.
Was told May 29th by source to expect announcement in 4 to 6 weeks, so should be soon.
It will be a 5.0 with twin 62mm...the delay was hard starting and oil consumption, along with keeping costs down.
DBK...would you please advise on what "wrong shit" is posted, so we can have a better idea? In order to know the "wrong shit", you must know the right shit and that would cut down on all the junk being posted. Thanks.
.
If you think they are going to release a GT500 for MY 2019 with a major vehicle design change for 2020 so they get a one year run, then sure. LOL.
It will be a MY 2018 release.
Sticking with what I've been saying a long time: 5.0 with twin 62mm turbos mated to the new 10 speed auto. As for HP, I was told first pull at 16psi got 898rwhp...but that they were doing testing at 775hp and 700trq. Initial price point was 82-85k, but huge dealer kickback was received...I'd expect pricing to be in the low to mid 70's as they are cutting things to get cost down. We should know soon I imagine.
Ok dude, you win. You wanted it, you got it.
No, they really, really aren't. Consider it bookmarked. We'll come back September 1st and discuss the limited release MY2018 GT500 5.0L TT. It'll age as well as all this has.
Steve W. If you know anyone that worked on the new one then they Will know his last name.

Only thing that had been incorrect so far is announcement date...those change all the time, so not a surprise.

The real question here is why aren't all these people "supposedly in the know" standing up and saying "Hey, we know Steve ______ and sorry about his passing?"
Maybe because they aren't really in the know?

I've been saying TT 5.0 since day 1. This article is rather interesting and after reading it, I think it lends well towards my belief.
Inside Look at the new 2018 Coyote Block!
Still nothing verifiable from anyone I see. Wish Raj would've spilled the beans after his sudden departure, that would've been great.
I have no doubt the GT500 will be offered with the same 10 speed auto they co-developed with Chevy that is offered in the ZL1.
