I am still betting on an EcoBoost V6 with hybrid drive train, combined power could easily be in the 700 or greater range and if it is light enough who cares about the actual number.

Well said, Derrick was one of the most conscientious and brilliant engineers I ever worked with at Ford. He took his job so seriously that I worried that it would effect his health. We worked together when he as manager of the steering gear and wheel department at passenger chassis engineering.

Engine Masters is all about drive-ability so they reward area under the curve, engine made 515 lb/ft at 3000 rpm 666 lb/ft at 5100 and 718 HP at 6500 it would be every bit as streetable as a stock GT.

Interesting and excellent points, another approach would be to increase the displacement of the Coyote engine to 5.8 liters and then improve cylinder head flow, cam timing and fuel/spark systems. I have heard that 700 NA is easy with this combination from some OEM manufacturing people that have...

It would require a major suspension tune but the current GT is a little tail heavy for ideal balance plus it would get the total weight down near 3000 pounds which is always good. It would probably be a really good car with none of the heat related draw backs of forced induction. The basic...

They like the ECO boost because it goes like hell and pulls a trailer like it isn't there. I have had (3) F-150's with ECOBoost V6's and am about to take delivery on my 2015 with ECOBoost. The engine is incredible, quiet and terrific low end acceleration with or with out an 8000 lb trailer...

And will weigh more than 3000 lbs, a lot more.

Lincoln HEV-50

The biggest issue is parts availability, it is getting to be near impossible to get parts for the GT. I do some track days here and there but have limited even that the last 2-3 years. My Cobra is worth 4-5 times what my GT is worth but I can buy what ever I need quite easily at reasonable...

You are on the money, hard to believe that they will achieve anywhere near that level of success this time around. The 1960's program was a money is not an obstacle in terms of fielding a winning car. I hope I have to eat my words but hard to believe Ganassi and his drivers will be successful...

I hope they get someone like Roger Penske to run the program for them if they plan a serious race effort. I don't think Ganassi is up to a Lemans program, an Ecoboost Hybrid could prove quite challenging to develop along with an all new car.

Maybe it will say Ford GT Hybrid tech?

Thanks for all your effort Dave, would not have happened without you.

Especially true in California where we have a large population of uninsured illegal aliens who don't drive well and have no respect for other drivers.

A REAL race car, very nice.

Very nice, Dan is one of the greatest American drivers ever and in my opinion the best because of his ability to win without abusing and breaking the machinery.

Not a dealer stock order, but the local dealer has also not received any of his stock orders either. Central California location maybe the problem, long shipping times. I see that the fuel economy for the V8 is down from 14 maybe there was a cert issue?

Mine was completed August 21 but has not shipped yet, initially it had a "do not sell because of incomplete EPA data" but that is available now so I have no idea why it has not shipped.

I have a 4.0 with lots of very high rpm track miles and zero issues, it has been great in my GT.

yes, radar gun 113, lost an alternator belt at 110 mph in second when the rev limiter came in so we started short shifting it into third. GPS was faster but I trust the K band gun more.
