[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 14538283, member: 68944"] My bet is $49,999 is the starting price. Flat plane v8 under $50k is an awesome marketing angle. 500hp is likely going to bump up to 525hp by launch (my guess) and weight should hit 3650-3625lbs. Seeing that a gt is 3705 currently, it's not a hard number to hit. Me? I'd option one for daily driving with all the tech and give two $hit's about 134.6789Lbs of weight in my street car because pointless and ridiculous argument since you'll never notice it with a dialed in suspension. This maybe isn't as safe an engine to go boost crazy on but honestly, if it has 500hp stock, na bolt ons and maybe cams could get it to 500-525whp easily enough. Revving to 8,000rpms+, it would be quite the fun power plant, and na feels pretty peppy and responsive. Maybe it'll be very strong and respond to boost but I'm skeptical because physics don't easily succumb to engineering. 2.4l is (safe) flat plane limits on a 4cyl... Maybe ford solved the puzzle. I do think it's clear ford is aware of the competition, and has incorporated enough into this car to beat a z28, and do so in a daily drivable package vs a stripped out (unless reappointed for $1500) packaged for 33% less asking price, with likely better mpg etc. Time will tell.
