I thought they might announce something this week, I guess New York is next. That is where they rolled out the 07 GT500.

Brat. I'm sure you guys in the know think it's real funny watching us twist in the wind. Can't you get me involved in a focus group or something so I can know too? I mean, I can keep a secret. It's the people I tell who can't keep secrets.

Paul, we like to see you twist and squirm!!:biggrin
Pretty good guesses here....

Wow a cage will be a factory option!.... HA, nah, just a bar to enable the use of harness for testing.... Commonly added, ESPECIALLY for the media drives.... I love clickbait...

New photos and details leaked last week. 5.2 cross plane supercharged engine codenamed Predator. Maybe the Detroit Auto show will be the unveiling. All I ask is a GT350 with at least 200 more hp.

yes NON direct injection 5.2 with 2.65 tvs blower. Should make 750hp at 8-10lbs of boost. Whp at that boost level in all reality.

I am very interested in getting one if it comes to be. I sure hope Ford makes it available with the DCT option, that would make it truly unique.

Won't happen with the dct. Tremec does not even have the building finished in Wixom to produce the transmissions yet. One of the reasons the new vette is not done. Tremec bought all the electronics stuff from Ferrari to make the dct 7 speed trans two years ago i believe.

Well bummer, but that sheds a little more light on all the speculation.

I saw a video that hints of an announcement on 1-12-18. Looks like the wait might be over.
