[QUOTE="specizripn, post: 13595721, member: 130913"] Id agree that it would be very expensive and unlikely, but its not impossible. Porsche made a great 6 speed for the GT3 RS4.0 which has a 9k redline, the Audi/Lamborghini and Ferarri manual boxes were also able to handle 8.5-9k with minimal isuues, but the current Mustang gearboxes would definitely have some issues. You are right though, Ford would definitely need to find a system with some sophisticated syncros. I'm thinking if ford were to come out with this car they would have to have a GT500 sized pricetag on the car. A much lighter curb weight and similar power could yield the same straight line performance as the 13-14 GT500 without the heatsoak and with much better handeling characteristics, so who knows, it may even be worth the money. This is all up in the air because no one really knows how reliable the source for this rumor is. Could be complete fantasy, but we will just have to wait and see if anything turns up! [/QUOTE]
