Despite all the talk about a more fuel-efficient V6, Ford is reportedly also developing a supercharged version of its 5.0-liter V8 to be stuffed into a new flagship model that would compete with the Chevy Corvette ZR1 and Dodge Viper SRT10.

It would take an awful lot more than a supercharged 5L to compete with the ZR1. The GT500 gets beat in reviews by the base corvette, and even the Ford GT had a hard time against the Z06 -while costing more than twice as much. To use brute force means that this ultra stang would need 700 - 750 hp. Something tells me thats about as likely as a putting a V8 into a Cobalt. And so unless this super mustang could loose an awful lot of weight, and improve its handling by lightyears, there is no chance that it could ever compete with the ZR1 unless the only thing you look at is horsepower.
