GT500 Now 500bhp!
Apologies if this is a repost, but it got me all excited. Too bad I'll not be able to afford one :-(

Edit: not trying to cause trouble. I just click on the wrong bookmark (ls1 AAG when I meant to pick corral lounge). Maybe some people will like it anyway.Last edited by john; 05-02-2006 at 02:58 PM.

Those things only have a 8.4 compression?
Man that's low for a supercharged 500hp engine.

Ford's trying to hone in on Z06 territory, no?

Who cares how much power it makes?? If it's like any other ford, it will "claim 500" but will only see 400 on the dyno, weigh in at 4000lbs and only run high 12's.........POOP!!! Plus it will cost, w/ dealer markup in the 45-50K range....BARF.
CASE AND POINT: I have personally seen an 05 GT 5 speed dyno 245rwhp, yet claiming 300........to much loss for me, they are garbage.

And if they claim 500, given the same 20% driveline loss, you will see 400 to the wheels. IMO the loss you saw on the 5 speed is probably from a poorly broken in motor. The GT500 will likely see around 15-17% loss, putting its wheel hp around 420hp, give or take 10hp.

Just imagine if the 06 Z06 was F/I that thing would be even more of a monster than it already is. Why can't Ford do it N/A? Must be missing the technology to do it.
