Dave, let me know if you are picking up hitch hikers:biggrinSince the warranty mileage is unlimited for 3 years, I'm just going to Forest Gump it from coast to coast non-stop from 2017-2020. Aiming for 400,000 miles.
Stormy sure knows how to start up a speculation thread.

This is what DBK will look like in 2020 in NGT.

A friggin' Hyundai would outperform McLaren on that!

:Trust me, it's not that far off from what I'm gonna look like in it in 2017.
If you study motors and power outputs as brake horsepower per liter . ( BHP / Ltr ) both NA and boosted and take this into consideration as to what's been done and what's realistic we can form some conclusions.. Ford's 5.2 liter NA Vodoo motor makes 526 HP which is a hair over 100% Brake HP per liter which is very good for a Normally aspirated motor. We know boosted motors run at a higher percent.
Looking at the F488 a 3.9 liter turbo motor @ 660 HP is a tad under 170% BHP per liter
The M 675 LT 3.8 liter turbo motor @ 666 HP is a tad over 175% BHP per liter
With that said a 3.5 liter motor running at 175% BHP per liter would put out about 612.5 HP
For a 3.5 liter motor to make 650 HP it would need to run at 185% BHP/ Ltr.
Those wishing for 700 HP would require the engine to operate at 200% BHP/ Ltr, not sure that is realistic and still provide a 3 year warranty or the longevity we expect from Ford
I'm in at an optimistic 635 HP , Hoping for more but not sure if it's realistic..
I guess the real HP freaks will need to talk to Roush Yates to make a big bore kit or a stroker kit !! :biggrin
So what's your HP guess ? Lets save the weight estimates for another thread.. Hopefully we'll know soon !!
For the record, the video games are just a guide. The numbers are in range, and there is more than 1 video game with the GT in it.
%Stormcat% - I liked your post even with the %s LOL. I hear you already planning that large fixed wing like the race cars?
