Engine for engine, if that's what we're getting into here, the LS3 is still the better unit.

Those are just as fast as the best ever ls3 ET on this forum. Stick vs stick, it's a drivers race. Auto vs auto, the 5.0 has a distinct advantage over the l99. The gt500 doesn't hang with the fifth gen, it smokes it. Why does GM need a blower to match it? They don't just like ford doesn't NEED one to top the SS, it's just a great, cost effective, efficient way to get there.

don't bet what you don't have.
what you guys need to do is sell your old azz Gt's and buy a new 5.0.
