Dealer markups almost can't be avoided unfortunately as long as people have as much disposable income (credit) as they do these days.

'13 GT500 released in 2012 had 662hp as posted above.

As has been mentioned above by Martinjlm, Ford isn't benchmarking Camaro with the GT500, they will likely set their...

Its not a lesser V8 (6.0 in HD), its much more durable than the 6.2 1500 engine.

Peak power output maybe less, but the 6.0 meets a durability spec that the 6.2 likely couldn't come close to.

The '13 GT500 had more power than the new ZL1 when it was released 5 years ago.

If it had the benefit of the A10, or even the A6 it would still be quicker than a new ZL1 or Hellcat for that...

Gotta love free market.

Combined with CAFE they need to sell cars so car buyers should profit from this.

I will say one thing Ford has done well, somehow they have convinced people that paying $60k+ for a 1/2 ton pickup and $70k+ for a 3/4 ton pickup is acceptable.

Rumors before the Hellcat launch had the engine meeting durability targets tested at 825hp so maybe that will be the output for the Demon.

My guess is if the EPA compliant tune is run full time, some part of the system fails early, like powertrain, or parts of the emissions systems themselves.
