[QUOTE="Nicolaskl, post: 11701955, member: 33538"] Good post, and I agree, but to play devil's advocate: If you're going to go for 800ish crank horsepower (which a fair number of people do), you're probably going to have to do the same mods to each car, I 'm not sure you're going to get there with bolt ons and a lower on the 5.8. Whether the 5.8 is equal to the 5.4 at those power levels in terms of longevity remains to be seen. If you're going to roll around on fat drag radials on the street and/or slicks at the strip, the 3.31s and the launch control probably aren't going to be doing you any favors. With the 2500 dollar rebate you're talking around 43k for a base 12 or 46.5k for an SVTPP 12. In terms of what you're losing out to a base 13 at 55k, or a PP/TP 13 at 61,500, I'd say that a 12 at those prices is still a very solid choice. Can't really go wrong either way, IMO. That said, I may very well be trading up, but I'm probably gonna wait around until the 14s are out and see what kinda deal I can wrangle. [/QUOTE]
