You know what the best part of it all is though? The fact that in 5yrs when they depreciate you can have 500-600hp cars for under $25k. 07 Cobra you can have under 30k. C5 Z06 low miles you can have under 23k. GTO you can have dirt cheap. CTS-V under 20k. SRT8 charger/300/jeep under 25k. I LOVE THE USED MARKET

The other best part of this is that the people who can initially afford these $45K+ cars are old retiree's, who in turn, don't typically "beat" on anything or even "modify" the air filter. So when their LEASE is up, you can pick up a CLEAN low mile car for "cheap".

this is what i'm curious about, is it based off the new 5.0 design or the current 5.4 aluminum motor? I wonder when these beasts will become direct injected...

Ha thank the generals for the horsepower wars, each battle gets more and more exciting!

I've never read anything that said anything other than it being 5.4 based. Anybody else smell a Boss 351 in the making?

+1 The Condor block just gets a bigger bore.

Although, I heard there is a possibility that the 5.8 will also incorporate variable cam timing a la 5.0.

Everything I have ever seen regarding a 5.8 engine in the GT 500 has stated it was based off the 5.4. Does that make it 100% certain? Of course not, but that seems to be the prevailing attitude. See posts above.
