412 HP and 390 Ft. pounds torque isnt to bad for a stock botto of the line GT! What kinda power will we be seeing cobra's, roushe's, gt500 stuff like that? I heard that a guy who works at Ford was saying there will be no more GT500! But instead, there will be a GT600 with a twin turbo 5.0L, putting out over 620HP!

Very nice. My only concern is if the fancy valve train will hold up over time.
