I rather have a 400HP, N/A, 5.4L, 3V with aluminum block that would weigh 350 lb less than the GT-500 engine with its required hardware.

Maybe people are now realizing that the gt500 is not a real Shelby mustang built by Caroll shelby but an SVT built car. Which is not a bad thing! But! It doesn't have that Shelby Magic I see in the old real Shelby cars. Now that people see that it's not all that quick for the horse power out put and the fact that the car weights as much as an F150 might down grade the demand for this car. To make this a super mustang Ford will have to figure out how to lose some weight on this car without raising the msrp. It'll need a lot of composite parts and panels or some aluminium pieces or what ever but the car is just too heavy. It even looks heavy. Ford should have let Jack Roush build the Shelby mustang . He's getting high hp out of his Super charged 4.6 stangs.(stage 3)
