Default "5.0" coming back?

I just saw this on the **********...I saw actually think I saw this exact car (Or else it was one of the other test cars) this summer...Cool stuff. It sounded pretty bad ***

I wish the 400/400 was true. That would make the mustang best in class in terms of power to weight. I know the Camaro has 420 hp, but from what I understand, the car is close to 400 lbs heavier.

The clam also states it would have better fuel economy then the current 4.6 which means no gas gusler tax which I think the top end Camaro and Challenger have to pay. If that's true Ford should really sell the hell out of it, I only wish the body styling wasn't taking a hit in the process.

It'd be cheaper just to buy a new powertrain for your current S197......that way you can keep the great looks of the current model and keep up with the new 5.0s.
