Wow - no love for the poor old Coyote! So maybe someone should machine up a set of SOHC cammer valve cover adapters to fit the chevy LS motors. They make great power and no big long timing chains to worry about. Perfect for a Cobra replica!

On a serious note though, most of the die hard Ford guys may not have heard about the new LT6 in the C8 Z06. Flat plane crank, 670 hp at 8,400 rpm and 460 lb-ft at 6,300 rpm. All motor no blowers, which makes it the most powerful naturally aspirated production V8 ever. A blown version will debut shortly in the upcoming ZR-1 which promises to be an absolute beast. Electric motors may soon be taking over with the rise of rocketship luxury sedans like the Lucid Air, but before that happens hopefully we'll see one last set of awe-inspiring gas guzzling ICE's from the big three. The pinnacle of fossil-fuel performance cars is fast approaching.
