It was 375hp till '93, then got a bump to 405hp. I know all about C4s, and the original ZR1 is one of my absolute favorite cars... But the engine wasn't engineered or made by GM, and there weren't any 350hp or 400hp "options." That's what I was getting at. It sounded/looked like he just skimmed over a Wikipedia page and regurgitated something.

That's definitely part of it. They also didn't have much experience making high output overhead-cam engines, and conveniently had just acquired a company that had extensive experience. It was the perfect storm.

I think that was mostly his point. As much of an improvement it is over the C6 overall, the difference in straight line speed is almost inconsequential.

No, but yet again, appropriate spelling and grammatical efficiency helps others understand your typically ill-informed and frankly pathetic posts. I didn't think that pointing out a fact was being a douche, but last I heard, your car was in the mid-twelve second range...thus, well withing even "cam only" 2v territory. Just sayin'.
FORD trolls, this is a GM biased forum. What else do you blue tie guys expect to see on a site that has LS1 in its title? The coyote is the baddest motor on the planet? Get real.
Carry on!

Being the grammar ****, you should ensure that you're practicing what you preach.

It was standard with 385hp and they built a more performance one with 405hp... idk why thats hard to understand... also yes Lotus did engineer it and Mercury built it but still doesnt matter bc GM had a 350hp or 400hp ohc engine long before Ford caught up...

This is one of those times when people dismiss your posts because you've passed full retard.
You're also uneducated on the LT5. Lotus, skip. Lotus. GM didn't engineer that engine.

As has been pointed out I completely worded my statement wrong about the Cylinder/CU thing. The statement remains true....the coyote is giving up 1.2 Liters on the motor.
Regardless......for the sake of the conversation here are the specs for all relevant vehicles straight from their manufacturers.
CR= Compression Ratio
CW= Curb Weight
M5/A6 = Manual/Auto + Total gears
Weights in parenthesis for Mustangs are in comparison to GM vehicles
Weight for auto cars are in blue below
LS3 Camaro SS | $33,355 | 426HP 6.2L LS3 10.7CR | CW M5 = 3908lbs
C7 | $53,000 | 460HP 6.2L LT1 11.5CR | CW M7 = 3298lbs / CW A6 = Unknown
5.Br0 GT | $31,210 | 420HP 5.0L 11.0CR | CW M6 = 3618lbs (+320lbs C7 / -290lbs SS)
14 GT500 | $55,100 | 662HP 5.8L-SC 9.0CR | CW M6 = 3845lbs (+554lbs C7 / -66lbs SS)
LS3 Camaro SS | CW A6 = Unknown
C7 CW A6 = Unknown
5.Br0 GT CW A6 = 3675lbs (+377lbs C7 / -233lbs SS)
14 GT500 Auto not offered
