While im not trying to create any sort of pissing match, as I have seen first hand how fast the new sixers can be, the modifications cant be cheap, and when you guys have these 500hp V6s, the engine is more stressed, so i would have to think that a 500hp GT500 would likely have a longer life than a 500hp 4.0L, and the average person, to build a 500hp 4.0L would end up having as much tied up as does someone who gets a GT500 for MSRP....again, I dont know how much it costs to build a 500hp 4.0L as i havent done it, but ive built motors and its not cheap to make that kind of power, especially with a smaller engine.

id have to see that to believe it. i had a rental with the 3.5L engine last week, and i was amazed at how well the big car moved out..a guy at another forum of mine, with just a CAI, ran 15.40s...not blistering fast by any means, but for a heavy *** sedan (and i got like 28mpg) it ran pretty well. i have also had a 2.7L model, and it went down the track to the tune of an amazing 17.20!! [:'(]
