Spy Shots—2019 GT500 With Supercharged 5.2 FPC Engine?

[ON D BIT]

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.

There was no proof provided. He mentioned nothing of Dodge nor the challenger nor the demon. He has no clue what speaks of.

Oh it also was no 18 months ago like is claim. It was 11 months ago.

I forgot the best part. The so called proof was all conjuncture and ignorance and all wrong.

4 of the "insiders" there have been disputing the number on FB.

C&D's report is from Aug '16

As I said all wrong.

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?

808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808

^^ Here you go.

Thanks for the help mid edit! I was adding a different gif, I liked Nicholson's more. Both are entirely appropriate....

I didn't include your estimates that I know of.

Anyway, there it is. The exact moment I publicly posted the projected number for a future GT500.

"808 or go home" remember?

17.5 months later, the Demon was released with 808hp.

Ford has probably returned to the drawing board...

If anyone finds a post that I used it earlier, I am sure I will get the link. At this point, it shouldn't be disputed.

17.5 months?

Your math is off. 8/16 to 7/17 is 11 months.

You never did report the dodge demon was going to have 808hp. You never reported there was a dodge demon.

That's great.

Can I say 909hp.

Then when one/any manufacturer uses it sometime in the future I can claim, see I told you so!

Oh hell.

800, 801, 802, 803, 804, 805, 806, 807, 809, 810, 811, ....

Wow this thread got completely derailed... Anyway wouldn't it make more sense for the GT500 to be a 5.2L cross-plane crank for stability and to make the GT350(R) more unique? If I had to place a bet it would be an "ecoboost" 5.2TT backed by a 10 speed auto.

 

[DBK]

Exclusivity of the FPC is important for GT350. That was stated publicly when they first showed the CPC Aluminator.

That was last August.

Very specific, not sure if link will work because M6G


Edit: Look at the comparison between the two turbo systems in that thread. At the time, I was still trying to understand how a "Hot V" worked.

It was made clear that a Parallel Twin wouldn't fit in the S197.

What's to understand about a hot v design? Ports are reversed. Wow.

 

[Fourcam380]

Ferrari was doing it with race v12s NA in the 60s for better aero

 

[ATX5.0]

5.5L v8 S/C making around 725hp is my guess on the upcoming gt500 cobra.

They like bespoke engines in the shelby and cobras. I don't think the 5.2 CPC out of the FRPP catalog will be what Ford goes with. At least not without some serious changes to the top end to make it unique.

That 5.2 CPC FRPP Aluminator motor is a bad dude and I'd love a supercharged version with a TVS 2650, just not as much as twin turbos

Spy video on FB page!

Only 12 seconds but it's LOUD. The blowoff valve sound is probably from the chase car.

Yesterday...

What do you think? (Sorry, super busy yesterday)

Blowoff valve on chase car? Or the Prototype?

 

[DHG1078]

This link isn't private.


Blow off goes off waaaayyy too late after the mustang lets up. Its definitely the chase car.

More video eventually, pics most definitely.
