Both the 350 and Voodoo have too much potential to be left without improvement.

since it seems most are projecting that the PP2 will outperform the standard GT350 for a lower price, it seems that it just doesn't have much of a place anymore.
3-4 people get together (all who don't own GT350s but want a PP2) and that means "most"? You can say it might be a great value, dollar/dollar...maybe even a better "value" than the GT350 but saying it will outperform it is a stretch...outperform can mean so many things. Do you mean it will get better MPG?..yes, that's correct ;)

I'll be surprised if the 350 continues with the 500, especially considering the other specialty models in the lineup that have been amped up a bit (Bullitt, PP2).. Something has to drop, IMO.

I like to disassemble things.

You mean it doesn't come true if you keep saying it over and over?

I can't imagine another whole year of this bickering.

Yes, and that is the reason I'm not letting go of one of my R's quite yet. This is going to be a while

if 2019 MY starts production in June, then around next June (calender year 2019) is when the 2020 MY vehicle should start rolling off the line.
2017MY went of for quite some time as they were hashing out the new 2018 refresh. that was the exception, not the rule, for a longer running year, which went from may 2016 to September 2017.

I'm telling yah, they are dropping this thing too late. a year earlier would have been best.

. I agree! I think it's a little late to the party. I'm sure the competition is close to releasing updated models and mid engine Corvette is coming. It might be here by the time this gt500 arrives.

Ford is benchmarking the 19MY GT350 with the PP2 actually, they are looking how to outperform it significantly from what I heard. Maybe it doesn’t have more power for 19MY but it handles better.

There will be a small run of 2019MY GT500 and then is correct around June-August the 2020MY will arrive.

Isn't that what we were saying quite a while ago and you told us it would be calendar year 2019?

The 2019s will probably go just like the 2015 GT350, to executives and or their buddies and maybe a couple strangers. 100 hundred cars doesn't say 'we got them to our customers'.

I say punch out the Coyote to 5.5 liters. SC it. 850 hp. 760 to the wheels. 10 psi boost.
