"As we have already confirmed, this is quite a powerplant, delivering 556 horsepower at 6100 rpm and 551 pound-feet of torque at 3800 rpm."

I'm thinking somewhere around 360hp rating!

Still too heavy....maybe they'll put this new Z28 model on a diet?? Don't forget, Challengers and CJ's are 3150-3200 raceweight, no? WJ

Read the fine print -- this engine will have a QuadraJet equipped version rated at 295 HP .........................

Good luck Government Motors. 2011 is two years away. In the mean time, the Cobra Jets will be kicking butt. Ford should have their 6.2 litre Hurricane motor ready by then. I don't believe Mr. Wolfe and his team will be waiting for an a** kicking. By the way did anyone see the thank you ad for Brent Hajek and the apology for the glitch in giving NHRA the correct engine specs. Ford Racing and Brian Wolfe are sure showing who has the class! If you know anyone who has a 2008 Cobra Jet, take a look at the binder that Ford Racing has put together for each car. This just shows the thought and planning that Ford Racing has put into the program. The binder contains the history of the Cobra Jet, all of the specs and part numbers, a list of the owners, pictures and all of the build sheets from Roush and Romeo Engine. I have never seen another manufacturer do anything like this. Each owner also received a custom cap, shirt and jacket. Thank you Ford Motor Company for not taking government money and for putting Brian Wolfe in charge of Ford Racing.

No stocker here--just a 2 ton Z28 to contest the shelby GT500 with the roots style S/C on top of the 430 hp corvette motor--Body in white needs a new GM designed motor with 700 ponies with specs to nhra @ 400 ponies

GM would have to submit a specialty car like Ford and Mopar did to get the weight down.
