A TT GT500 would be awesome. I've always loved that car. They already have the Super Snake making 750 - 800, wouldn't be a stretch for Ford to do it if they wanted, especially with turbos. However, they'd need to really focus on putting the power down unless they just want the Most Horsepower award back. Will be interesting for sure, but hope the price doesn't go crazy. My buddy bought a GT350R and paid $15K over sticker to get it and had a hard time find it to begin with.

Based on things I've read the GT500 didn't stop as well as the ZL1. It's not always about being the most powerful. If that were the case the GT500 would have to have the looks of the ZL1 , the power of the Hellcat and the cornering of the 350r. Even then I'm not sure I'd buy it. There is no such thing as the best car. It's based on the buyer. That's why they sell the Eco boost. Someone thinks that's bad ass!
Not me though.... |

That's random. Quicker than what? The as yet to be seen TT GT500 or the as yet to be released Gen6 ZL1??
We've already established in another thread that the Gen5 ZL1 was.....underwhelming. |

Who is we? Mouse in your pocket? When it came out it was the fastest and most powerful of the three.

Whats not to think the new GT500 may have the twin turbo V6 Ford GT motor?

A TT v6 wouldn't do anything for me, a V8 might, but still like my instant power. Turbos are nice, but even with a bit of loss a SC takes - I prefer it.
Now, I highly doubt it will be AWD, but some have speculated this, that for sure would make it a non starter for me. The GT350 and R look really nice so i'm sure the 500 will be even better looking.

I'm real curious how the 10 speed in the ZL1 helps it. Ford hasn't ever offered an auto GT500. They should. |

A car that can only be good at 1320's isn't really worth debating at all IMO.

I understand road course times are what Camaro fans have to focus on these days though. The new ZL1 should help that. I figure it's an easy 10 sec 1/4 mile car bone stock. |
