[QUOTE="Sirhc7897, post: 15585584, member: 10294"] As a former GT500 owner this is absolutely true. The ONLY thing that made the GT500 power plants (be it 5.4 or 5.8) better than the 5.0 from the factory was it was built to hold boost. Plenty of supercharger 5.0's out there making the same, or more, horsepower than the 5.4/5.8 at lower boost levels. Better power plant (and should have been considering how much newer it was). IMO only the naive (or those fixated on individuality) would be upset with a twin turbo 5.0 built to handle boost from the factory. Even with a 2.7 TVS it would still easily be in the 700+ range with very reasonable boost. I expect that, whatever configuration it shows up as, will be incrementally better than what's currently available. It only makes sense. Dodge could have built a hellcat that absolutely destroyed the 13/14 GT500 if they wanted to but didn't. Chevy could have built a ZL1 that absolutely destroyed the hellcat but didn't. Nobody is going to radically raise the bar as it gives them nowhere to go either down the road.
