Could the new S550 outperform Chevys new C7 for nearly half the cost?

[QUOTE="blackvette101, post: 13762055, member: 130072"] Maybe at higher torque levels or with older cars. But with modern cars on modern tires (especially with chevy's new e-diff that handles the LT1 torque just fine) if you think having an extra 60-70 torque in the 400-500 tq range will be a detriment your making yourself feel better about not having that torque. I didn't know you could guarantee power numbers maybe the magazine's should pay you to know the numbers instead of waiting for ford. The Boss isn't handicapped by an inferior manifold, 7k redline and charge motion plates. NA Engine's have a tendency not to make much power past a restriction point no matter how much flow you add after that point. Engines 101. You can guarantee crap all you want but almost everything ford did to the car was to boost torque. Which I guess doesn't matter much according to you. I guess if they didn't NEED LT1 like torque numbers they added the charge motion plates just to throw in some extra cost onto the car right... Shit 390 get's the car moving why add anymore. The funny thing is if a mustang engine made more torque then a chevy engine (AKA the SVT cobra days when everybody was all into having as much torque as possible because we made more then the LS1) all the fanboys would be all over having the most torquey engine. Everyone here loves the S550 but if some of you want to underestimate the competition by ignoring reality you are going to have a lot of butt hurt threads showing up on the forum. [/QUOTE]
