Cant tell if I like it or not. They say that the 5.0 will jump to 500hp after the initial launch...

I think I may take advantage of some of the good 2014 deals going on now if this is accurate. Wait until the first refresh of this.

I do find the article a little suspect though. Start with 420 hp and upgrade a few months into the model run? Do they want to piss off everyone who buys right away? ad an 80 hp bump? how much price bump will that get? This alone makes me not believe much in this article.

I like. I'll wait to see the actual car before passing full judgment.

I don't see a 80hp increase on the GT with the same engine. But if they do that would be hard to pass up.

This is how I feel as well.

I see 500 hp being a stretch for the GT though...that's putting the S550 on par with the C7 Vette right out of the box........

Its still up in the air no sound proof of anything right now. What is funny though is that if the car only makes 460hp, it still makes more then the vette lol.

Just like the 6.4 Challenger does. And it runs mid 11s just like the C7 right ?
