Well if that's the case, why would gm go to the trouble to recertify the motor?
I tell you why. They knew what ford was up to with the mustang and held back the right #number so that when ford brought there car out they could one up them without any redesign at all. It's no different than what ford is doing with the 5.0l right now. If you think that motor only makes 412Hp I have some ocean front property for sale in nevada I'll sell to you cheap.

Those #'s get burnt into people's brains big time. That's pretty apparent after spending only ten minutes on this very site.
