Why lol...whats LOL is that a stock ls3 puts down more than a full bolt on and cams mustang
You can say what you want and add it up however you want to make you sleep better. But the fact remains you can make 500 at the wheels with an NA LS3 without even removing the heads when you would be lucky to hit over 350 on the 4.6 without removing the heads.

I hope it could exceed 400 at the wheel if it was rated at 435hp at the crank with bolt-ons.
Considering the 4.6 has gained at a similar rate from the modest 315hp. Most Mustang GT with the 3v 4.6 do exceed (at the wheels) the quoted 315hp with full bolt-ons.
So again, we are talking and trying to enjoy speculation of the ALL NEW 5.0L, and not the 4.6L.
Never lost sleep. Im not arguing the 4.6L is weaker; that was the reason Ive been considering the Camaro. But this 2011 Mustang GT throws a wrench in it.
No need for name calling (ex. prick), just using the numbers you have supplied toward this discussion.
I seemed to me that you are questioning Ford's engineering ability to produce a car that has the potential and power yield; since this is a 2011 Mustang GT vs. 2010 Camaro SS discussion; and not a 2010 Mustang GT vs. 2010 Camaro SS discussion.
