DKilbourne Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Watched this yesterday, but who the hell knows what is really going on. It's like reading plot lines for new movies before they come out. While some may be close, others may just be way off. Excited to see Ford does though.

Spidey2721 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 my question is what about nhra rules?? the hellcat ran 10.80-10.90 with 703 i think horse. the new mustang is lighter and looking to make more horses. when you get into the tens on a nhra track you have to meet certain rules. like a cage aftermarket balancer, axles, a trans shield, protective gear etc etc. so are these new cars going to have to have a cage installed in order to run at the track from the factory?

ImUrOBGYN Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I think Chrysler may've upped the level of the hp wars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look up the '08 up exception rules. It covers those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Believe it when I see it.The title of the article is a question for fks sake. I hope Ford does do something like this though. Would be badass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangman2011 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Ford wont let anyone one up them. At the least they will turn the boost up/ replace the blower on the previous Gt 500 engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Hopefully these HP wars inspire chevy to make a C7 ZR1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Popular thinking is this will be powered by the "Voodoo" engine, TT 5.0 most likely. Anyone seen an confirmation on wether the Trinity will be in this chassis? Last I read the 5.8 won't fit in the engine bay of the S550 chassis.

B3NN3TT Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I don't see that thing ever being less than 3500 pounds, as the article asserts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford is going to have to offer an auto trans worth a damn in the flagship model if they want to compete with those times stock. But yes, all that is covered under the rule change which allows any factory stock car to run without needing any of that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I had heard earlier this year they were going to make a few of the new body with the 5.8s they have left out of the current model run however there weren't any planned changes to it. Supposed to be the same with the 5.0, should be the same spec we have now until they do mid run "upgrade". All the info I have however is 5-6 months old so who knows.

Bogie89 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Ford loves the 1 up game. I don't see them letting Mopar come in and try it. Rumor is 5.8 TT instead of the voodoo they planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
