WTH Chevy?

[whitehead]

The ZL1 is not supposed to be a Boss 302. What is with you people? ZL1 is going to make 550 HP atleast! The 5.0 L mustang engine makes 400 ish. I am failing to see what the problem is? The CHevy engine is bigger and is S/C making MORE power than the 5L N/A. Not tied.

Because Ford's 5.4 DOHC rivals the Camaro's Supercharged LSx setup....with nearly a full liter of displacement less...oh...and lets not forget. Ford's new 5.0 liter Coyote motor...that makes 412+ HP...depending on who dyno's the damn thing...and the Camaro is only making what...10-ish more HP...with OVER a full liter more displacement...

So, your argument is moot...

Come at me bruh

Now A.) I was not talking about the 5.4L DOHC motor, I thought everyone was saying a Mustang GT with the 5L was making more power than the ZL1. And B.) I was not talking about the SS, this whole thread has been about the ZL1. So I apologize if I mis-read or mis-interpreted what was being said. And no worries Blue, GM will redo there engines some time. Its a constant game of countering. Otherwise no one would be in business.

I wasn't talking about the Mustang GT. I was talking about the boss 302, and no, it's not supposed to "be a boss 302", it is supposed to compete with it though. Even though the boss should be 5-6k cheaper then the ZL1 as far as MSRP goes. Yes, the almighty ZL1 should make a little over 100 more hp then the boss (550 vs 444). I consider that pretty sad coming from chevy, considering their past. The boss has a tweaked 5.0, vs the ZL1's S/C 6.2.....intial tests show them with very close 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. And the Boss will embarrass the ZL1 on a road course. How you consider this a win for the ZL1 is beyond me.

I do agree with you about things turning around though, I just hope it doesn't take chevy as long as it took ford.
