2013 GT500 to make 600hp

[89stangGT]

The introduction of the Camaro ZL1 didn't bring balance to the muscle car wars, it has only reignited them. According to sources inside Ford, the 2013 version of the Shelby GT500 will up its output some more, this time laying down 600-hp.

In fact, it may be more than that, with a 620-hp number pegged. How Ford will get that number is through the use of a larger displacement engine, with the current 5.4-liter block being expanded to 5.8-liters. The current Eaton M112 supercharger will also be traded for a TVS unit - the very same one used in the Corvette ZR1.

With the added power, the 2013 GT500 should hit 60 mph in just about 4.0 seconds (not much change due to traction), while the quarter-mile time should drop by as much as half a second, possibly dipping the super Mustang into the 11 second range.

As for the rest of the vehicle, expect it to keep the solid rear axle - for now.

Shelby just hit $70,000+ is all I heard. Sounds cool though.

Private jet owner tax?

But how will it stand up against a stock LS1. Probably needs H/C/I to hang with an LS

Roller 89 coupe plus 15k on mods would smoke that

Hope it will finally get direct injection as previously rumored

Ford just needs to put some wider wheels and tires out back on that car so it can gain traction.
I dont recall there ever being a issue not having the power it just spins off the line due to not enough grip

"possibly dipping into the 11 second range"

The '12 models aren't capable of 11 second passes?

It all depends on who is driving them. If you have those clowns from C&D driving, they are 13 second cars on radials. If you have Evans from MMFF on slicks and skinnies it's a 10 second car stock. lol

that makes sense...i figured they would be in the mid-high 11s on radials, stock. those guys must be some terrible drivers if it takes 600hp to dip into the 11s! lol

IF the new ones get a TVS blower, they will be easy low 11 cars for anyone to row gears to and solid mid 10's with a good driver. There is several TVS cars on SVTP and they are fuckin torque monsters and a blast to drive!
