The v8 gets 412hp and I think it weighs about 3500lbs.
Confirmed: 2011 Ford Mustang GT to offer 412-horsepower 5.0-liter V8 — Autoblog

That is the most simplistic way of viewing motor construction, ever. You know how much the 7.0L LS7 weighs over the 6.0L LS2? 10 lbs. 10 measly lbs, for over 100 more HP.

 A 2011 GT with the track pack and a 4.10 gear swap is going to walk all over a lot of cars.

Hasn't anyone ever heard of stroking/boring a motor out? Using aluminum heads/block instead of iron? The new Mustang is going to be a SIGNIFICANT player against the 370Z, mark my words. And I'm a Chevy fanboy.

 No doubt it will be faster than a Z in a straight line, but it's still a front-heavy (in fact heavier) design with a live rear axle and could be pwnd on a "driver's track" with no significantly long straights. Should be king of the local dragstrip, though.
