The 717 hp rating on the “basic” HC can probably get lost in the rounding error of rating that engine. Just my initial thoughts.
That's what I was thinking as well.

I think FCA is keep to avoid Ford's SNAFU when they said the 2009(?) GT500KR was going to be king of the hill, and then had the 2010/2011 GT500 come out with the same, if not more, power.
