From Ford press Q&A

No dry sump
No direct injection
Extra engine displacement is all bore
Everything from the A pillar forward is different from the GT. In the rear, the rear lower diffuser is different but rear quarter panels are the same.
Benchmarked against 4 cars: 911 Carrera S (main benchmark), Ferrari California (since it is a front engine FPC), C7, and Z28.
"It is its own beast." Do not want to equate it as a Boss replacement or GT500.
How does it compare to the 302 or GT500 on the track? "Not really comparable. Way faster.. an order of magnitude faster"
About same production numbers as the GT500

295s up front and 305s out back!
It also has an 8200 rpm redline!
