Right?

Now...what will a 750 pony BLOWN S550 weigh? MORE than the GT500 did. Unless you throw aluminum and c/f at it. THEN what's the price? And, with available transmissions, what will this hypothetical "750+ hp" engine deliver for TORQUE? 650. Is Ford gonna yank the tranny from a Power Stroke diesel to back it up? And what does THAT tranny weigh?

"Dilemmas"...
Hellcat is not in this discussion and would be out of its league, this is GT350 vs Z/28, and SVT GT500 vs Z06, Not at all I am thinking track and strip.
