I haven't seen any concrete info on weight. Who said it'll be 4200 pounds? And actually, even if it is and it has 700+ hp that may be enough to not matter. Hellcats are over 4500lbs and can keep up or beat a ZL1 in a straight line.

What's everybody's problem with the gear selector knob? It's just there to select park, reverse, neutral, drive, and manual mode. Most Ford vehicles have that now and manufacturers commonly keep switchgear like that common across their lineups. It's cool to me since the car doesn't need a floor mounted shifter and it unclutters that console area.

This car will not sticker any $100k. How does this "look" like it will be the one? If we're talking markups, GT350R's have already crossed that mark.

And Ford has had a long time to develop the GT500. So it better not be flop like the GT350 and GT350R.

The DCT is a brand new transmission from Tremec. If I'm not mistaken, this will be the first car it is used in. And you must be joking about the GT350 being a flop? They were far from a flop. The R's still go for over sticker price to this day, and it's over 3 years after launch. The regular models still command sticker or very small discounts at most. You're very wrong here.

Several forum members have broken into the 10's with A10 ZL1's, but it's not common. If he GT500 can put the power down, and has well over 700hp, it will be faster no doubt.
