The V6 might be getting replaced with a turbo 4.

This 2013 GT500, though, is pretty damn interesting. I knew it'd be around 600 hp but wasn't expecting 650, and certainly wasn't expecting Ford to throw out the big "200." Hopefully they put out some 'Ring times to see how it compares to the ZL1.
If that is true, the Z would be in big trouble if Nissan doesn't do any updates by then. I would definitely look at the Mustang if that comes true.
