Nice read, but really nothing new that hasn't already been discussed ad nauseum on this and other sites. Is there really doubt about a true 650HP in the GT500. Really? I mean, previous versions of otherwise stock GT500's who have swapped the factory Eaton for a TVS are making 650+ HP at the crank with less compression. Not a stretch to assume the 2013 with 5.8L's and a conservative factory tune will equal those numbers. I certainly agree with one point, only time will tell what both of these cars are capable of.

Edit: I got tree'd by the beast!
