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.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

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........

I'd imagine that is what the guys who bought the 2010's had to deal with. They got the new bodystyle, but the old motor with the new 5.0 coming out less than a year later. The guys who got out of their 2010's took a serious hit because the value of their 10's absolutely tanked cuz no one wanted them.
