I see that the new Cadillac XLR will pull 330 hp out of a naturally aspirated 4.6 Northstar v-8. (August Motor Trend). This is GM's first go at tweaking their 4.6 with variable valve timing (actual 21st century technology), forged internals, throttle by wire, and 6500 redline. As for the other little item Ford will have to deal with, the Chevy Gen IV v-8, there are specs and photos at www.GMinsidenewscom (archives 5/13/02 - XV8 pictorial).
