Dodge has a 425hp 6.2L, Chevy has a 423hp 6.2L, and now Ford will have a 500hp 5.0L
Which is plenty fair if you ask me...How many years have Ford owners been cursed by the dreaded....v6 Mustang? 
Honda 3.0L - 240hp
Nissan 3.5L - 300hp
Chevy 3.8L - 300hp
Ford 4.0L - 210hp

I care. To come on here and talk bad about Dodge and Chevy just because they haven't/don't done/do something they are entirely capable of is garbage. Look at the other aspect of this, if GM and Dodge are making such 'low' numbers from such large engines, think about how much tuning potential lies w/in them. And the Ford 5.0 will have 400hp, not 500hp. And the 425hp Hemi is a 6.1, not 6.2. And GM's LS6 makes up to 436hp depending on what car it's in. And lest we forget, Ford has been making underpowered, underperforming and just average engines for years now. There's no reason to get a big head over ONE good engine coming into the lineup.
