Aaaand it looks like Ford is in the game

Looks like Ford is not about to let Chevy and Dodge have this party all to themselves:

http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2013/...oed-on-camera/

http://www.roadandtrack.com/go/futur...and-hot-rumors

Seems like Ford is working on a stripped down Mustang for track with n/a engine, independent rear suspension, and other goodies.

OH how I HOPE the big 3 are planning on a revived Trans Am manufacturer's championship series!!! Even if they aren't the next few years are going to see some awesome performance cars!

I believe someone on here said it was a stripped down Challenger or possibly when the Barracuda comes back. I don't remember exactly tho.

And good to see Ford wants to respond quickly. Competition between the manufacturers means the consumer wins.

I have been searching for info on the 2015 Barracuda. I believe they will unveil it at next years NY Auto Show. There is a rumored 6.2 supercharged "hellfire motor" for 600hp plus but I think SRT will have a mountain to climp to make it more of a track car than the z28.

The best source seems to be http://www.allpar.com/cars/dodge/barracuda.html

The Barracuda is a dead fish in the water (pun intended). Ralph Gilles (President and CEO of SRT) stated that the Barracuda was a rumor that got out of hand and the platform that it would ride on (Alfa/Maserati platform) is not ready and is a couple years out.

Here is what SRT is working on... '15 SRT Challenger.

I think this thread relates to the Z/28 forum. Maybe change the title of the thread?

Did I see that the SRT offering was FI? If so it will be a competitor for the ZL1 and GT500 not the Z/28.

It does in that these cars will be direct competitors with the Z/28, but the thread is more about what Ford and Dodge are doing than the Z/28.

Also - awesome PS work in your signature

Begin at the 13:40min mark...



Also, if you click on the "'15 SRT Challenger" link in my previous post, you will have all of the proof and sources you will need.

thanks for the links especially the video...I had not seen that. I'm glad to see ralph acknowledge the z28 as a cool car and they "will answer that"...but the video actually confirms that the cuda is coming. I also heard about the delays with the fiat platform but watch the video again...the cuds is not dead in the water at all. I believe the allpar links about the cuda to be accurate. what they do with the challenger is a waste of effort in my book...that is a real pig.
