Decent article, I don't believe there is any new information.
Couple-o-tidbits:
Ford is still sticking to the 450-500HP and not getting any more specific. But a source says it will likely be 480HP
Price is somewhere between $36,000 - $40,000.

Hmm, per the article the engine weighs 175 lb more than the 4.6L GT engine.
That's about 635 lb, which is about the same weight as a Boss 429.
No matter how you cut it, the GT-500 will be one heavy (and nose heavy) car.

I'm interested in that list of "Best conering" cars that have a worse than 57 - 43% F - R weight balance too.

If you're really concerned about weight distribution ... get a Ford Expedition . (50/50).

I am just so happy that Tony Swan wrote the article!! If that nerd Christopher Jensen wrote it, God knows what wold have been said, probably the first thing would have been something about "the car has no rear or side curtain airbags..."
If anyone else has read his "work" you would understand!
