Maybe it would take away from the hype of the dct, or maybe all funds were used in the development and incorporation of the dct. However I really doubt slapping a tremec on there would have been all that difficult. So what if it needs some torque management and nannies to protect itself from the factory. It's a front engine rwd pony car. It's a mustang, a Shelby at that, this thing deserved a manual, almost crazy to think it doesn't have one. Could have possibly been one of the most fun cars ever with tons of "cowboy science" with an m6 or m7. 760hp rowing your own gears!

That said, this is the Premier Mustang, the GT500 which in some trims costs $100K. I think there is room on the profit structure of this car to manage to offer a manual. It is still just a Mustang built on the same assembly line as ecoboost and GT cars. I believe the engine is hand built, but I still contend at these prices this thing is pure profit for Ford.

+1 on the interior. Even the Shelbys are awful. IMHO, the 'base' GT500 with handling package and a set of Cup 2's will be very close to the CFTP in track times. |

Spot on. What color combo is your 350R Slither? Agreed with above posters that the 350 is far and above the best looking S550

[QUOTE=NW-99SS;10682071]0.3-0.4 given both car's best runs to date.
True but that was the very first car delivered and the only production car we know that has run. Also in positive DA. HERO runs with negative DA will be faster how much who knows how much. If the torque management and launch control doesn't let it leave any harder it will not be much faster than the 10.6. But we'll have to wait an see. |

While true, it would add this on any vehicle with two trans options. Doesn't the gt500 carry enough weight to warrant this? And it's not like any redesigning has to be done, s550 with manuals are already a thing.

And the C8 is giving a preview of things to come, seeing how well the Z51 managed itself can't wait to see what the performance trims do. Now my initial reactions on the GT500 given some time to digest them a bit. I think the base car at MSRP is a fair value, it handles much better than many thought (myself included) the magazine times are disappointing as far as 1/4 goes but the trap speed shows the power is there, its well capable of 10 second passes on the strip from the factory and I wouldn't be surprised when more get delivered I don't think 10s will be the outlier I think they will be fairly common. The CFTP, from all accounts seems like it handles amazing and really puts tho whole package together for the track rats. But until we see some more lap times especially compared to the base car and the ZL1/ZLE I don't know if it's price tag is justified- and that is something I have been on record as saying. It needed to not just beat other cars it needed to put up wow numbers. |
