[QUOTE="Formula51, post: 9139652, member: 19833"] Yes, I know Fourcam and spoke with him by PM about this topic long ago and many others for that matter. The Aussie 5.4 makes 422hp on high octane fuel. Does it pass US emissions standards and would its get hit with a gas guzzler tax in the states (I realize the Falcon is probably heavier than the GT, not sure though)? Latest I heard was that Ford may go to skip shift to avoid the gas guzzler tax on the 5.0L. If that is true then that would be VERY disappointing given the weight of the Mustang. "Specific power" would put the 5.0L at 390hp (on premium fuel) based on the 5.4L and 412hp (on regular fuel) based on the 2011 Mustang V6. Right or wrong, I'm more inclined to look at the 5.4L and other manufacturers 5.0L then the 3.7L V6. Like I keep saying, 400hp from a 5.0L on regular fuel would be frickin revolutionary! I'm not sure people are grasping that! What "bells and whistles" do you expect the 5.0L to have that the 5.4L doesn't have? If I remember correctly, the heads on the 5.4L are very good. [/QUOTE]
