Definitely.

The arguments about if GM put this on the camaro stock or if Ford had this stock are retarded. We can bench race the cars in stock form against each other.

And then once modding starts it basically boils down to who has the deeper pockets.



And yes I did read that the 5.0 was putting out 470hp in some configurations. The sad thing is that I have had people look me in the eyes and honestly believe, what they are saying, when they tell me you will not see a 450hp NA 5.0.
