It just sorta sucks you in, I kept trying to get out, but they kept pulling me in...
They had a lot more experience in it than I did BTW.

Ya I'm just an all around car guy. Both brands have their pros and cons. Chevy makes some killer big cube n/a power where ford makes some killer smaller cube supercharged power. I can't wait to see what comes in the next few years because the word is ford is ditching the supercharger and going with a 351 with a 4" bore thats suppose to be in the mid 400 range. Finally the whole supercharger vs n/a arguement will end.

^^WTF People^^
Anyway I bet the Cobra guys are going to miss having the S/C to play around with once they stick the bigger engine in there.
I also hate to say it but GM might need to scramble if Ford puts ~5.4 3-4 valve DOHC engines in their cars. Their 4.6 3 valve pukes out 300 hp and 320 ft/lbs already.
While their, well since it's in a truck #'s don't really count, 5.4 pukes out 300hp and 365ft/lbs of torque.
The LS2 is awesome but people are starting to catch up, slowly, but surely. Especially since only the GTO and C6 LS2's are punching 400 hp&ft/lb while some other LS2 concepts are only rated at 362 hp. <- like the new Pontiac Gran Prix RWD (or whatever they call it now).
I also am in the group who believes that the new Z28 Camaro won't hit the 400 hp benchmark and will sit below whatever number the GTO and C6 get. Probably at 360hp (with a H.O. SS version getting the whole 400hp).
That's just my opinion. Supported by history, but my opinion none-the-less. (F4@310/GTO2@350/C5@355).
