I was just reading that the 5.0 is a DIRECT INJECTED MOTOR hence the BIG POWER out of fairly small displacement similar to the Camaros 6 cyl which pumps out over 300HP and is't only a 3.6 L , I just can't believe Chevy didn't go with this AWESOME NEW TECHNOLOGY for there V8s , the Stang GT looks better and better every day now ...

Yes and no, at least as it relates to this truly being a Mod motor. The upcoming 5.0L V8 is, according to Ford, so different that it is considered a new engine. How different that actually means it will be is up for debate. Ultimately the claims are that this engine addresses all of the Mod motors shortcomings and supposedly makes somewhere between 400 and 425hp and more than 360lb-ft of torque....numbers which are not out of line with what the latest gen DOHC DI V8's from other automakers have been generating. On less solid footing, some have vaguely insinuated that the 400hp rating was obtained on regular 87 octane juice possibly indicating that the engine is designed to be run on either regular or premium fuel with the 425hp ratings being produced with premium in the tank.
you naysayers will eat your words lol...
AND IT RUNS ON REGULAR PUMP GAS WOW
