2020 Shelby GT 500 Hp - Torque published

[ERA 626]

I think the ecoboost (twin turbo 3.5l V6) in the Ford GT was doing 700+ HP out of a V6. That being said hats off to fords answer to the hellcat mopar, what is chebby doing, the vette?? none of the others (GM & Mopar) have an answer for the 2019 Ford GT

Well the current C7 Corvette Zr1 is already faster than the GT around VIR as seen here. It also spanked the GT in the 2018 Road & Track Lightning Lap.

And now the next generation C8 mid-engined Vette has been officially launched promising a significantly improved performance envelope across the model spectrum. So far figures for the base model Stingray with 495HP show a sub 3 second 0-60 time for a base price under $60K. That lays down big expectations for the upcoming Z06 and ZR1/Zora supercar rumored to be AWD with a 200HP electric motor up front for a combined 1000HP.
I think the C8 will pose a threat to the far more expensive and elusive GT.

Here's an artist's (me ) rendering of what the Z06 or Zora might look like next to a base Stingray.
