What would happen?

"and don’t forget about pissing their high end customers off. The GT’s exclusiveness isn’t only with the car itself, it’s also the hp numbers etc. You’re not going to see Ford piss off the GT owners by releasing a car with the same motor or even anything close to it in a >40K car."

What would the people who have paid way more than MSRP for the GT do?

Wow, that C6 ZO6 looks like it's going to be a beast!

The new aluminum 5.4 3V s/c engine will most likely be a little lighter than the previous SVT's iron block 4.6 4V s/c, so weight on the nose of the new SVT shouldn't be a problem. Also, the T-56 tranny and IRS will add a few more pounds along the full length of the car. I will be shocked if it only weighs 3500 lbs, but that would be a good target. Maybe the SVT will get a few extra aluminum parts here and there to help offset some of the extra heft due to the powertrain.

Will a simple pulley swap be able to make up the difference between a stock '07 SVT and the C6 ZO6? That is the question...

GM didnt screw anyone. The HP was underated. They actually put out what they were supposed to. The LS1 puts out 404hp to the crank even though its rated at 350hp. (crate motor dyno tested by Hot Rod) The LS6 is a good bit more.
Crate motors are not production motors.

Corvettes are putting down about 300 at the wheels.

Zo6's about 345/350
