I predict 13.0-13.20 for the GT from most magazines.

Most mags I read(not many) always seem slow(minus MM&FF) because they race on tracks that are more like the average street and shift the cars so slow.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the GT's in the low low 13's and the V6 coming in at 14.30 area in the magazines. We'll see, either way...I want either car

im predicting in the 12s unless Ford wants to keep the GT off the GT500s tail.

2011 GT power to weight: 8.74
2011 GT500 power to weight: 6.90

That's a big difference. Traction is always the issue though with a GT500. The SVT PP has some different tires but I am not holding my breath.

I expect GT/V6 reviews tonight, but will there be any GT500 reviews? Haven't heard one way or the other. I bet it will shock a lot of people, especially in the corners. Saving all the weight off the front will do wonders.

What is the list of publications we think will have their reviews up tonight?
  • Motor Trend
  • Car and Driver
  • Edmund's Inside Line
  • MM & FF
  • 5.0 Magazine
I must be missing a bunch?

Reviews for it will always be later. The tires on the PP are a bigger deal than the weight loss. It cannot be stressed enough what crap Goodyear F1 "Supercar" are.

Yes, traction is the key. If/when I can ever scratch together the money to get a GT, the very first mod I will do is new/wider rims and tires with better traction. This is even more of an issue with the GT500 for sure.

I can't wait to read the review on the automatic, not that I would ever own one, but that ultra low first gear has to be pretty fun out of the hole!
