They said, "Yes" the 5.0 IS quicker than the Chevy Camaro SS and the Dodge Challenger!

"all-new electric power steering (zero drain from an engine-operated hydraulic setup)"

Surely that is not steer by wire.

I dont think so. I believe its just the pump. Although it supposedly senses where you are trying to hold the wheel and provides force to hold it their so you can remove your hands and it will just keep going straight despite bumps, camber changes etc. All the magazines that have driven it seem to like the steering but I will withhold judgment until I see it.
