Nice try though but really not a good comparison, buyers would be much better off waiting for the new GT350 or picking up a used 13/14 500.
Doesn't the new 5.0 now run a forged crank and forged rods? The pistons are the questioned part of the equation, being cast aluminium, albeit redesigned and utilizing steel ring carriers and cooled via oil squirters.
