Okay. Now that everyone has said their piece and vented their frustrations, let's get back on-topic.
Aluminum block and electric power assist steering could end up being pretty significant changes. From my understanding, EPAS saves approximately 35lbs. If that is true, combined with the 88lbs saved with the aluminum block, and you're looking at ~123kb reduction in the front of the car. My 2010 GT500, sans the Shaker 1000 stereo system, tipped the scales at 3870lbs. Take 123lb off that and you're looking at a 540(or more?) horsepower car that weighs in at 3747lbs.
The reduced weight should not only help with acceleration but the better weight distribution should help how the car handles, especially in the turns.
