    I've had to oppertunity in the past few day to talk to some of the people close to the shelby community, mostly on the new CS6 and weather a V8 version was being considered,through those talks it was mentioned that the GT500 may be naturaly asperated and have a HP rating of 550 HP , no blower needed. Could we see a 5.4 or maybe a varation of the 5.0 Cammer in this car?

    I would be very surprised if we saw either of those. A N/A 550hp would have naturally have been used for the Ford GT if that were the case. I think we'll see a 450+ hp s/c engine IMO.
