That's awsome! Now all we need are more aftermarket parts. Like a HPFP!!! This could be good.
Those were my first thoughts..."what can we scavenge from this thing"...lol

Rich
Can't wait till torrie gets his hands on one.

This thing is going to destroy the vet/viper world.


Wonder what it would cost for the motor out of one..
13' SHO, Non-PP, Tuned by Torrie, Meth injection, 3 bar, 170* stat, custom axle back exhaust, Prosport Boost gauge.
15' F150 Lariat Sport, all the options, 3.5L Eco. (fiancée ride.)
13' GTCS, will be missed.

"The GT is one of more than 12 new Ford Performance vehicles coming by 2020. It joins Focus RS, F-150 Raptor, Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT350R in the growing Ford Performance lineup."

If the RS is as nice as it sounds I think it will be my next car.


" The GT features an all-new, port/direct dual fuel-injection setup to improve engine response, plus a low-friction roller-finger-follower valvetrain. The twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 will be paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transaxle for near-instantaneous gear changes and exceptional driver control."

Sounds like a Euro-challenger for sure.  A true DCT will hopefully filter on down to "lower"-end vehicles soon!
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I'm in need of a new propane grill. Looking at Weber, but it'd be great to spend a little less and still get a solid grill. So, I have also considered DynaGlo, which seem to be well made and decently reviewed. And cheaper of course.
Anybody have any input?

If you do go with a cheaper grille, check for replacement parts. Sometimes they're outrageous, or can't be found. Weber is great, I've seen many old ones working great. Our main grille is a mid-grade Char-Broil that isn't very good. Uneven heat and frame twists easy making the doors tight.

I have had two Weber gas grills in the last 20 years... both still like new (son has the older one now)... We cook out a lot (2-4x/week) so we really use them!... like even now clear blue skies and 75 degrees They cook great and Home Depot stocks all the parts.  I have owned a couple of high end grills that cost 2-4x as much, but compared to the Weber they're fertilizer!  I'll never own another brand.

Granted the guy driving is an idiot.. just think of how many more idiots will take these out and crash them. All it takes is one punch to the floor when trying to pass a car and you are done.

I'm not worried about beating one from a stop. They will take some decent skill to hook at a stop light.

I'm with ya...700 HP to anyone over 16 that can afford it. Almost sounds criminal.
