Doubtful. But supposedly the LS9 is in the works so the next model year ZL1 will probably get a boost in power.

Though the Camaro needs a reduction in weight more than a boost in power.

Wonder if this now means we are only a few years away from 700 stock hp from Chevy or Ford? It's gotta stop sometime, doesn't it?

I'm going to say doubtful.

20-30 years from now we will all be looking back on these days and 650hp-ish will probably be the pinnacle of power for the Mustang. We aren't too far away from the EPA coming in and forcing us all into pussified hybrids.
