    Supercomputers and 3D Printing Are Secrets to All-New Shelby GT500 High Performance

    Short blurb on the Ford Media site today about the aero and cooling systems developed for the new GT500 coming for 2020 model year, some interesting stuff:

    Very neat! Nice to see Ford putting so much design into aerodynamics. ...even tho there is 700+ HP under the hood. (see sig)

    At wide-open throttle, the cooling system needs to extract up to 230 kilowatts of heat energy, enough to heat a dozen homes. The massive front brakes reject another 100 kilowatts of heat at maximum braking
    Never seen kW used to describe heat energy, but apparently it's equal to 3400 BTU/hr.
    So the GT500 cooling system can dissipate 780,000 BTU/hr !

    Remind me not to follow GT500's at the track on a hot day.
