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"...

The STOCK 6R80 transmission in my 5.0 will handle 800 hp. Do some research. Ford could have put it in the GT500 but choose (mistake) not to.
