If you look beyond the peak hp/torque numbers, the V-10 has gobs of torque anywhere. On the tele, MT said the 0-60 difference was 1/2 second. Comparing sport ute's that isn't much of a difference. 4 second cars are a little different. I would bet that John Lenginfelter (SP) could masage a great deal of power out of the chevy motor if price really is no issue. But then a Lethal Viper puts out 700+ ft/lbs from 1500rpm on up. HP is torque x rpm / 5250. Way more average HP.
Of course I am not a purist and don't care what powers anyones Cobra. I like the one in justa6's car as well as DV's cars. Get the motor you like and fits YOUR needs. Then have fun.
