That sound. I think that engine will eventually make it into the production GT in some form as well.

I highly doubt it.
Probably expensive and made exclusive for the SVT.

First, I'm super pumped about this car. The handling, and fast revving V8, BIG brakes, proper PSS tires, lower CG and the SOUND of that flat-lane crank! Depending on the price I may be very tempted to trade my '14 GT TP for this car.

Second, if you go through the effort of redesigning forward of the windshield I was hoping for a better looking front end. It does look better than a normal S550, it's a bit cleaner, but I was hoping for more of a departure. The angle shot looks pretty cool though.

Think about the R&D that went into that engine. It would be wasteful just to keep it for such small production. As far as expense, the actual production of the engine can't be much more the the Coyote. It probably has better rods, and pistons, but other then that, the money was in the development.
They played up the 5.0 as developed exclusively for the GT and it wound up in the F150.

Maybe this is the car where all of the 2015 rumors of weight reduction will be seen.

The GT350 should quiet all the detractors who say that it's pointless to develop a high performance Mustang unless it can compete directly with the Hellcat. The Dodge will kill 'em on the drag strip, but will be impotent on a road course. At 707 hp it's almost useless on the street, so it's only real claim to fame will be awesome straight line performance.

500 normally aspirated HP is very impressive indeed. With the suspension tweaks and IRS, it's the GT350 that'll set the bar for "balanced".

That's only if it's around $55-60k though. If they stupidly price it at $75k to match the stupidly priced Z/28, it IS a moot point.

If it's $50-55k, I'm trading in. LOL

I think Ford will price it at about 60K but then the stupid dealers will have a field day tacking on at least an extra 20K over MSRP.

it's a definite improvement over most my gripes on the base s550 GT, but i'm still not going to buy a first generation. The power sounds fine to me, but the body improvements are great. That hood definitely means business as do the vents on the forward fenders. Love the quad tips and the sound too. How much $$ i wonder?

Whatever it is, add a big dealer markup over sticker. It's a first year car and collectors will be getting into bidding wars.

Wonder if those folks who paid 10K + over on the 2015 LE will be kicking themselves....

They played up the 5.0 as developed exclusively for the GT and it wound up in the F150.
So all the other 5.4s that went through a number of changes since it's intro into the Shelby, as well as the 5.8 which was only a 2 year run and exclusive to the Shelby and weren't used in anything else. I don't buy it. Plus the fuel requirements I'm sure will be 91 min, would never be the norm in the GT.


Source on the 5.0L as exclusive? It was always meant to replace the 4.6/5.4, meaning duty in the Mustang and F150.

Looks almost like the '65 AC Cobra hood and front grill have been fused in. Not bad. I'd drive one...WITH A GREAT BIG SMILE ON MY FACE...yep.
