The point that the LS3 may respond better to mods (which is complete conjecture at this point) is a reason some one might choose the Camaro over the Mustang, but not anything that makes the Mustang a "worse" or "slower" car. My point is that Ford has put together a very competent package if the information on 2011 GT is correct, and, stock for stock, which is the only really "fair" way to compare these two, I think it will be one hell of a driver's race.

at the moment no one actually nows, how will the 5.0L will respond to mods
other than headers. i will hold my comments on modds until it hits the streets,
its safe to say we might be surprised.

Yeah, when the Z comes out you are in real trouble buddy. Rumor has it it's gonna have a ecotec turbocharged super duper motor. It's gonna roast your ass! Stick a fork in the GT500.

Yes we do know. SAE certification process. Both engineers from ford and from SAE witness the dyno of the motor and have to agree on the exact certified output. I also seen a show on tv when they were dynoing a 5.3 chevy and they talked about this.

Under rating is a thing of the past since 2005.

No...when the Z comes out -- then we'll have something at that price to make the GT500 matter. Didn't you know? A segment doesn't matter unless there's a Camaro in it.

Truth!

We may.

But one look at the HP/LITER that the motor is all ready putting out does not leave a whole lot of room for improvement while still being N/A pump gas (95% of what will be on the road). At 500hp you will be at 100 hp/Liter...the motor is making 412 all ready.

620hp pump gas N/A for the LS3 (6.2 @ 100hp/l) is pretty much the max for the motor considering the highest numbers N/A for H/C cars is around 530 rwhp pump gas.

Unless this motor is a modern marvel you wont get much more than 500hp out of it without adding a supercharger or nitrous. And in the past the OHC motors have never responded as well to cam changes as the LS series.

But then again....you never know I suppose.
