Is it really called GT600?

Kcuba370z 06-09-2011 09:43 PM

Looks Good,

600bhp on 285's with a junk differential, SRA, and no FAY's setup...
What other good jokes does Ford know?

Not sure on tire width or diff, but check this out from the article...

It sure looks that way, based on the apparent wheel angles. Independent rear suspension does seem long overdue, and it would only make sense for the next Ford Mustang to take the fight to the competition on equal footing—if you don’t mind the pun.

Obviously, that's still speculation, but hey...

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

Whatever it says, Carrol Shelby was hired in the 60's by Ford to improve the mustang and when he suggested IRS they were butthurt over the small price increase. I think we all know what CS would have put under the car if he REALLY had his way. Ford is just whoring his name for a small fee to make a chunk of change for themselves. You don't actually think Shelby was behind it, do you? Ford has been tearing Shelby a new one and using him for years now. I love how they hamstrung CS on his GT350 and then came out with the $40K BOSS203 which tore it up in testing right about the same time CS was able to get parts from Ford and came out with his $60K+ GT350.

Ford sure sells a lot of cars, and good on them, but I LOL at their politics and customers most of the time.

The article cited is junk. The '12 mustang is already on showroom floors. The GT500 for '12 has 550bhp and 285's out back just like the '11. They can't even get the year-model of the car being driven correct, (it's a YM13 test-mule--maybe--as those are out. Who knows what car they took pictures of really.). Why would I trust them to judge the suspension under a car based on the angle of a tire in a few shady photographs? All it takes is the driver weaving one way or another and that log will tilt (and the rims with it) and make ONE tire look like it has + camber or - camber and hiding the other tire from view in the photo does nothing to prove one way or another.

I wonder how they would like me pulling in to work in my Z06.

No thank you, though. I spent my time at a Ford dealership (sales). BTDT, and wouldn't go back. Did you read anything I just posted about how CS keeps getting the short end of the stick other than the $$ for his name use?

Have you been a Ford employee?
Have you driven the cars or raced them or against them?
Considering that I beleive it was you who bought their car with a peg leg just for its looks, I don't know what you are interested in besides stirring the pot. Hell, you just want looks. This thread is like Charlie sheen. It's about GO

All you two had to do was say "We don't know much about Ford/Mustangs/etc. please don't get to deep on the topic" rather than having to de-rail the thread because you don't have a damn clue what it's about when someone goes a bit further in depth with it.

Or it could be like plenty other tech threads on this site. It stays technical for 1, maybe 2 pages, and then turns into the petty crap lots of sites out there are known for.

In the end though, I'm going to go back to playing with my 500+ horsepower American V8's and Italian shotguns and you are going to say whatever it is you want to say and I'm really not going to give a damn about it because you're just some guy on the internet and I don't get to wound up over it, even though it is fun to talk a bit of smack now and then when you're bored, the point remains that your opinion/thoughts are entertaining and that's about it until you have something to offer that I can profit from. I have yet to see that, though. You like to just run your keyboard and that's fine. I take mine out for a spin now and then as well.

However, I enjoyed expressing my views on the GT500 as it's one of the cars I considered and I hope maybe to help someone who is also considering it if I can have cleared up any vagaries for them.

Dude wtf? All I said was that you're entertaining. Why are you ranting on me? All I said at the beginning of this was that the article "speculated IRS".

There's no need to make personal insult posts. I've done you no wrong in this thread.

shadoquad 06-12-2011 10:04 AM

If you dislike how this forums devolve or get derailed, no one is making you hang around and read them. I know you're a passionate car guy and a tech know-it-all, but there is an ignore function if you dislike any one poster. You don't need to get all salty. lol

Of course, ;p I'd be pretty proud too if my car looked like a replica of the Ferrari Maranello xd

Among a group of overly proud Z owners. It's a plastic Chevy with a cut-rate interior and an engine that God designed. Got some hi's, got some lows, but it does what I bought it for. If you think it's something you would want, go buy one yourself, but don't paint me as overly proud just because I decided to get one and you chose not to. I will admit that just having the car in my sig. and drawing "Oh he's overly proud and has a small **** blah blah blah" from it does make me feel pretty damn good. It means that people are hating, and I love it. I used to say stuff like that about people with corvette's and Viper's, too. Now I say it about 599 and GT2 owners, lmao!

Some of what I posted is fact (IRS turned down in the 60's), and some of it is opinion (That it's a joke to have a 600bhp car with 285's.)

However, it WAS at least on topic.

I daily drive a 145bhp car and love it. Does that mean my **** is 12" on work-days?

Of course I won't sway these people. Most of them have cars making around 280whp and complain about wheelspin and not being able to "control all that power". 600bhp is just good discussion material for 'em. Not something they actually are contemplating.

NO, like everyone they have their own drama. They constantly talk about how the LS7 makes too much power to be reliable and that engines are failing and then we find out there may have been an aftermarket cam involved and...

Anyway, other than the C7, I know what I need to know right now about the Z06. The GT"600" still interests me if they fix some problems, though. Love the interior. Same with the Z if they update the powerplant.

I don't think there is a single forum out there that doesn't fanboy up their cars. At least we aren't Camaro5! :p

As long as the car I drive puts a smile on my face, I don't need to be worrying about what makes other people smile. I love all the vehicles on the road xD

Anyways! I saw a baby blue gt500 at a dealership and my goodness was it awesome <3
The interior was so comfy and the quality wasn't bad!

Lemers 06-12-2011 09:34 PM

I wouldn't bet on it being called the GT600. GT500 and GT350 are both historical names that don't always correspond to HP. The latest ford Shelby was 550 and it was still the GT500

Ford has made amazing improvements in quality in the last decade.

the thing is you have to remember where you are... you are an outsider, and a troll for the most part. you only garnered the small penis comment, because you are like :bowdown: to the mighty LSX you newbie Z owners.. on a Z site.. take that **** somewhere else... you seem somewhat knowledgable about cars, and then sometimes you go over the top... You know you are a troll, and you tool about... im not the 1st person to tell you so.. but I have to wonder if you have any social skills in real life... because if you are irl as you are here, i would doubt that you have ever seen the inside of a woman without paying for her...

I never said none of it was fact... but a good portion of it is your opinion, and honestly thats great. but you don't offer it as such, you offer it as tho, your word was law. and it's laughable at best. I daily drive a chevy.. and old at 190bhp v6... lol and I love it. again, you only were taunted with the penis comment, because your trolling is old and played out... you wanna discuss how superior the LSX is, goto the corvette/camaro/chevy forums.
