Lets be honest....no one is buying a DHSC convertible to track it so I dont think down force is really a concern ......

We had to wait for the very to know the horsepower?

Not even 800?

hope she does a lot with that 795. Looking forward to strip/track times.

we've known the power for a fair while now. Ford has to keep the hierarchy in check, so they detuned the SC 20 hp, 4 lb-ft, and 100 rpm off the redline despite having the same engine. can't be having their $328k starting price halo car encroached upon by us normal people, right?
i guess Whipple is working on that, though, with their 3.8L supercharger. if the power output from that same unit on the GT500 and Raptor R are anything to go by, i estimate the Whipple 3.8L will bump power to 1100-1200 hp and 770-820 lb-ft

less concerned about Ford trying to not compete with the underpowered GTD and more looking at the competition, which has eclipsed the 815 number by orders of magnitude.

the engine isn’t (wasn’t) what made the Gtd special. The suspension was.

If you’re accurate about the 3.8, perhaps that’s what the Gtd competition uses to beat GM.

If they can get 1000+ hp on the 3.8 and hsvr it not void the warranty, that would be insane in a very good way. Still leaves the SC under 800 from the factory, but at least there would be stratospheric options.
