Just in case you forgot what you wrote. You said YOU reported the 808 hp number at which point Dodge took that number and rated the Demon at 808 to screw with ford.

That is a fact, Dodge used the exact "808" number I had reported last year.
Do you think Dodge selected "808" because some random nobody on the internet said it?
Or do you think Dodge selected "808" specifically for the next GT500 to hurdle?
You guys demand that I am specific in FB then dispute the number on the forums. It is apparent a handful of posters are butt-hurt because of it.
This seems more of a personal issue and should probably be taken care of in a more personal manner. Being a tough guy on a forum vs. what you may encounter in real life isn't even a Fruits to Veggies comparison. I am an honest, retired service member that spent 9 years overseas as an NCO. If misleading people was my objective, I have failed miserably.
I have serious inquiries about the powertrain because I do not have equal experience with engines. Ford's design is brand new and almost unexplored. The engine itself could be the remanence of Project Silver, a Mustang GTE program that was canceled in early 2014. Looking at the class and what everyone else uses, an Ecoboost V8 would have fit perfectly.
Wait you said that the dodge demon would produce 808 horsepower prior to official announcement. You said you stated this 18 months ago.
I fail to see Dodge anywhere in your proof.
I fail to see challenger anywhere in your proof.
I fail to see Demon anywhere in your proof.
8/16 is not 18 months ago. Hell its not even 12 month ago.
Car and Driver is his source according to his proof. That's funny!!! Damn that's funny!

I hope not!! But, we shall see.
If that's the case, I may up end with a clean, 1 owner, low mileage, and stock, '13/'14 GT500.
Uh oh, someone asked for a link and now they are upset.
I never said Dodge or Challenger, the GT500 and 500 only.

There it is and that's that... Dodge came out first, Dodge used 808.
Ugh, really?
Project Silver engine was exactly the same as the GT engine.
You really know very, very little about these topics you throw around.
I highly doubt Ford was headed to GTE with an NA 5.0. Like the FGT, Project Silver was flagship Ecoboost. Advertising Ecoboost was one of the key reasons a new Ford GT exist.
Here is C&D's article from August

OH MY GOD YOU DUMMY PLEASE PAY CLOSER ATTENTION.
FORD GT. THE DAMN FORD GT. IT WAS A 3.5L TT V6.
Yes, it also didn't go to the GTE Class.
Look at the requirements for that class and it will give you a good idea where they were heading.
A Mustang would have required an FI V8
I am speechless. I am literally without speech.
I don't know how to write this out any more clearly.
Project Silver was going to be a 3.5L TT V6. It was going to race GTLM/GTE-Pro. It was going to use the exact same engine that ended up in the GT.
Jesus.

I wish I could believe that.
Well considering one of us has seen the entire chassis/engine/suspension configuration and the other is you, believe whatever you want.
Hear little voices maybe.
No, I took you guys seriously. I had honestly believed some of you guys were in the know.
It's not a devastating disappointment, so what, all the info found the public anyway.
lol
Look, matching ears!!!
Link provided in a previous post.
The link also shows where I started to discuss Port Direct Injection, around Aug/Sept. before the UAW Contract for sure.
If Ford initially intended to build a GTE class car, I am hoping they also considered a small 4.0 Ecoboost V8 too.
Obviously, the S550 is larger and heavier so I would expect them to consider a V8 in a Mustang first. The Ecoboost 3.5 in the FGT seems to be specifically built for that application.
That could mean, whatever Ford had previously considered for that program (Project Silver) could eventually come to market with a larger displacement. GTE doesn't permit an EB beyond 4.0 liters so I would think any initial Mustang concepts would include a new Ecoboost V8.
Maybe 800+ isn't important anymore but it is obviously an important aspect of a HALO car. If it's wrong, it's wrong... but so far the GT350 will continue beyond '17 and we see Dodge at 808. Someone on M6G knew what they were talking about. PDI and the refresh came from the same people.
