For those who thinks it's just a mustang. I don't believe that someone can take a 5.0 for $30k and build it to the performance of the new Gt500 for $20k in performance parts. You might have done it with the 2012, but not the 2013.

Well, you could build a 650hp 5.0 for less than 20k... but it isn't factory tested and doesn't come with a bumper-to-bumper warranty.

It also takes more than HP to get you to 200 mph. So we are looking a a lot in mods to get you there safely

Ford has been known to under rate the hp numbers, so I'm wondering what that 650 hp really translates to.

Probably over 9000.

High 500s to low 600s I would guess.

If i had to guess I would say 590 +/- 10

What would be cool is if somebody put the engine on an engine dyno and then dyno'd it in the car so you could see a just how much you lose in the drivetrain

Also, this is the "Other Vehicles" section, so hopefully no IBTL. ;)

How about IBT $150/bbl oil? :ugh2:

Doubtful. But supposedly the LS9 is in the works so the next model year ZL1 will probably get a boost in power.

Though the Camaro needs a reduction in weight more than a boost in power.

Everything needs more power. I guess chevy has gone too far for this model year to change now, and I'm sure they read the spy info too. But everyone was thinking 600 not 650. But I wouldn't doubt if they move up plans to boost the camaro sooner as opposed to later.
