But no mention of a flux capacitor...


The new GT500 certainly sounds like a state-of-the-art performance super car that will deliver a stunning driving experience, but reading through the description my mind can't help but wonder - what happens when this exotic stuff breaks? And, will they still be popular with car enthusiasts 50 years from now? Feeling more like a dinosaur than ever 


Maybe with 0-100-0 times of 10.6 seconds, none of that matters anymore?

The 2020 GT500 versus the  2020 Corvette is going to be a real media attention battle between Ford and GM.  Who will get the most and best coverage?

[pchmotoho]

Id be willing the Vette gets the most being a new generation.  Either car will make for good reading though.

I keep wondering when all this high HP  stuff is going to end like it did in 1973 when insurance companies rates when sky high for any performance car and the car companies followed suit with lopo cars.

yup, bye bye old 427 cobra record...nope, bye bye was when the
bugatti veyron did it in   8.40

But instead of insurance companies (they have figured out how to profit either way) It will be "green" legislators.

And the replacements will be electric ride-sharing pods.

I modify everything I own.

Having said that, I am hard pressed to see what needs to be modified here.

Well, I would wrap the front bumper bar to match the rest of the body color.
