Whipple is offering a new supercharger option for the 2015 GT. Any GT with this option is claimed to produce 700 horsepower. This is alongside the supercharger Ford has in development currently.

This horsepower race is going to get nasty....

Ford has really nailed it with this design. It's both Feminine and Masculine, Pretty and Badass, Muscular and Taught. I wonder if anyone will be developing an ITB kit for the 5 liter? I could be persuaded...
If somebody could make a 5 liter sound like that....I would be down.

The 2015 Mustang has supposedly taken styling cues from the 69 Mustang. I don't know. I personally don't really see much of a resemblance.
But then of course, that could be why the 2015 is so damn sexy.

How does that have anything to do with what I said?

Because the 2015 Mustang took very few design elements from the 1969 Mustang. The taillights are possibly the only thing.

Old Mustang included for comparison.
1. The more prominent, pushed forward grille, compared to the rather flat grille on the previous car.
2. The bumper is now more of a piece with the front fascia. With the previous car, it was a completely separated design element. This reflects the differences between the original, less aerodynamic Mustang, and later 67-69 cars, which were sleeker and more aerodynamic.
3. The way the headlights are pulled back, and the design element within the lights meant to strongly suggest open bodywork between the headlight and the grille. On the first retro-Stang, the lights were nearly flush with the grille. On the previous model, they were arranged much as in the Fusion, only with a larger reflector. On this car, some effort was made to give them that cowled, sweptback look as on the 69.
4. The prominent shoulder line terminating over the headlight itself, as opposed to having a one-piece lid that sits over the light-grille area as on the previous Mustang.
5. The rear hip area, where they've produced a rounder, curvier hip as opposed to the flatter one on the previous car. The tail ends with a subtle lip spoiler. The old car had it flat, flat, flat. And then, there's the tail-lights, of course.
6. More obviously, the rear quarter window is now of a piece with the side window, as on the 69', rather than separate, as on the previous car and the original fastback.
7. Might be more, but those are the obvious ones.

Because engines breath air. The more efficiently you get the air in the more efficiently you can mix it with fuel. The whole point of direct injection is to more precisely mix fuel particles with intake air so why not pay as much attention to how the air itself enters?
The velocity stacks on ITBs are meant to do what they sound like. They better control intake volume, velocity and pulses for each individual cylinder unlike a plenum when cylinders often interfere and rob each other of potential. You'll notice that race cars almost always use ITBs with a large airbox and ram air intake. It's a step toward getting more than 100% volumetric efficiency without forced induction which is possible and pretty commonplace in race engines.

Some of the i-vtec Honda engines (K20 in particular) were around 120% VE even without velocity stacks, and depending on your categorization/taxonomy of swept displacement in a Wankel, the RX-8's 13b was
Omnis: Forced induction ruins (superchargers to a lesser extent) throttle response. For me, throttle response is more important than power. And the sound ITB's make....

Wow. That just make @ProjectWHaT 's drawing looking that much better. Perhaps he should have you do more parodies of his work so his art stands out 10 times more than alone. Keep up the good work KingJosh you're a true wing man of the art world.
