[QUOTE="guarnibl, post: 13478775, member: 33086"] Ferrari does 700 N/A out of a 4.5 v8 with a tune and exhaust on 91 octane (458 Italia). 600 is certainly not a stretch by anyone's imagination. That number has been cleared by a solid 100 already -- at an insanely expensive price ($360k after your $15k exhaust and tune). It's possible. But Ford won't put out a flat crank V8 anyway (they won't sell something that goes away from their classic sound). Besides, they're not going to deliver that kind of power from a GT350 anyway. If they do put something out, expect it to be similar power to a Boss, similar displacement, perhaps up a bit on overall power depending on what they do with the GT500. 1) At the end of the day -- the Mustang has a very iconic sound. They're not going to steer from that unless it's an extremely low production model like the Cobra R. 2) CAFE standards are getting stricter. They're going to be doing more power with less displacement (likely not a 6.2). 3) They will not try to eat into GT500 sales by putting power numbers close to it. I could still seeing them use a 5.4 or 5.8 N/A -- but I don't think we'll see anything higher than that. And certainly not flat crank. Though... that would be pretty hot. [/QUOTE]
