who would want to spend more than 10 seconds straight att 7000rpm?? Also, im sure those clevelands didnt produce 670hp from the factory or had the kind of warranty the GT500 does. at this power level (almost 700hp) breaking stuff is a very real possibility even on the best built engines. these engines are designed to have oem type longevity (100,000+ miles)
