I might have been in a 350r but nobody would dance. Sorta glad because I think the ZL1 was a better choice for me personally.
I REALLY think you ought to get one so we can set up a track day...this way I can get a ride.
It's going to be interesting to see if that 750 is factual...I personally don't see how they can do it on the current voodoo 5.2 Flat plane crank with a blower, but man would that be cool having a super charged beast that can rev to 8200rpm!! Just a lot to ask of Ford being able to warrantee such a build. Now if they go to the rumored cross plane crank in the 5.2 (to me, it's no longer the voodoo) that will give them a little more room to achieve the 750 & keep them together.
GM is simply hand assembling the LT4 with a bigger blower & little more aggressive cam to go from 650 to 750 with the LT5 they are dropping into the 19 ZR1...the A10 wouldn't fit.
Guess we will have to wait to see what they do with the mid engine.
I love the competition between the big three & we just need Dodge to get off their duff and make a dang car that will compete with the mustang & Camaro on the road course...I know they can do it because of the success with the viper. Time to update that ole chassis on the charger / challenger and step up. They seem to be happy playing to their base with the straight line though??

Before we bought this one I was doing some internet browsing and saw the video of the 350 and the ZL1. I started talking about the ZL1, Hellcat and Vettes and got shot down quick seeing as we have always been into mustangs.
I was planning on getting a GT with the A10 and a blower, but got to drive the 350 and plans changed. Plus, I don't know if I could live with driving an auto around all the time. It would be ideal on the drag strip though. The 350 sounds awesome and will rev to 8250. You just want to drive it everywhere.
I agree if the change the crank it will not be a VOODOO. Some guys have added power adders and are making killer power. I might have to join them if not, I'll let Ford do it for me with the 500.
