Default 05-06 have a Aluminum block right?

I was looking at the Shelby GT500 cobra on ford's site. They had a section for comparison of the '68 shelby to the 06 GT and GT500 and it had Cast iron block under all three sections under the comparision section. I thought the 06's had aluminum blocks making them much lighter than the older one?

Yeah, it's aluminum.

Ford's PR people are kinda retarded, 'cos their website also says that the 4.6 is OHV. I'm sure there are more mistakes, I just can't think of any.
