I think, if they were to put in the tech to get 600hp from the NA 5.0L the car would have to cost quite a lot more. And 580lb ft of torque is like... As much as a 8.4L viper. Not really achievable for a NA engine of reasonable suze

Dont think revving high, Nor what kind of plane it is determines if its muscle or not, Its a V8 Mustang, Its automatically American muscle. Not that i care, But it is nice to see it rev high, Although im extremely dissapointed in the power it makes, 525Bhp and 430lb ft?....Really.....
Should have been 600bhp and 580Lb ft, And i think they should have waited a year or 2 before releasing it, Specially if there gonna go after an out of production Camaro...

Its no longer American muscle. Its now American Ferrari. For "muscle" you need crossplane engine :)
