But for the GT500, we don't know when it'll be available, we don't know exactly how much HP it'll have, we don't know the MSRP or if Ford will be doing anything to prevent dealer markups, and at this point I can't even say for sure if it'll be actually available for 2020 instead of 2019. So why is it taking Ford this long? They waited until basically the end of last year to reveal the 18 GT specs. So what gives? At this point people who are in the market for high powered cars might be swayed to just go and buy a HC-R (Hellcat Redeye) instead of waiting indefinitely for Ford.

the only thing thing that makes sense to me is the delay from Tremec for the DCT. nothing else would take this long if it was in house... other than the DCT they aren't reinventing the wheel.
