The power curve won't be anything like the Camaro. A 4-cam 32-valve 5.0 liter V8 will have a great power curve - yes better than an LSx pushrod engine.

And don't forget that the Camaro weighs 500 lbs more.

I realize that it would perform better, but as I stated before, that's not all I look for in a car.

Do you guys think the new 5.0 will weigh more than the outgoing 4.6? I could only Assume?

Everything that we have been told so far points to no. So we can only hope...

I was browsing the available options for the SVT Raptor today and noticed they had a "6.2L Boss V8" with 400hp as a Winter 2009 option. Wouldn't it make more sense for Ford to offer than, rather than develop ANOTHER new V8?
