yes it puts down some nice numbers but a cobra with pulley and tune you will get 450 rwhp that is cheaper than the mods on the 5.0 and those mods are very minimal but still are making the same numbers a stock cobra make. would i love to have a 5.0 yes but am i going to go out and sell my cobra to get one hell no. i would rather have my low compression twin screwed 4.6 over a high compression n/a 5.0

Pretty sure hes being sarcastic because thats gobs more bolt-on response than a Termy could ever wish for. I've never seen that guy say anything stupid hes a lot smarter than that and has a badass car. If hes serious then hes seriously fooling nobody but himself. ****!ng 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 is gonna put the camaro in its grave permanently this time this is so awesome. Anybody want to start making predictions on the last year ever of camaro production?

Where did you read this at? Everything that I've read says cast aluminum...not forged.

Thats the same spec sheet that i posted when you first realized that this motor had forged rods stock, and it in fact says cast aluminum pistons...just curious to where you are reading that at.

Waits for all the LS Buttsniffers to chime and say '' Well my LS1 has been hitting 400 n/a with cams , bolt ons and a tune for 10 + years .... blah ... blah.
The new 5.0 is gonna be a monster but I will be putting funds away for the 3.7. 30 MPG , plus adding a turbo and you have a nice *** daily driver.
