I guess everybody gets their wish. The 5.0 with over 400 hp. That's all fine and dandy but, it's not that big of a deal. Because, I'll bet Ford is not going to let it outrun their GT500 from previous years with those poor folks paying 40-50,000. So, the V6 is not going to be all that far from the V8 in speed now. Yes, the V8 will be faster but, not by all that much. So, I expect the V6 price to be jacked up or the V8 price to stay nearly the same. The main thing to me is to make it a nicer/better car visually inside with more features and nicer overall ride.

Cannot wait to see what this thing will do with simple mods like DRs and 3.73s

Hell, with just the horsepower/weight ratios I could see it running mid/high 12's all day long. Doesn't the GT come with 3.73 gears? Or is that just the "Track Pack"?

Yeah that's the track pack.. 3.73s is an option. I think, although I'm not sure, the stock rear gears are 3.27s

I originally thought 365 to 375, but when the V6 came out with 305, I knew the 5.0 would be at least 400 hp. Way to go Ford!

The 3.73 comes in the track pack with beefed up suspension and tunning.. But you can get the 3.73 gear by itself which comes with the brembo brakes.. Better deal the track pack is 1,530 o Te 3.73 by itself that comes with the brembos.. Runs $495
