Hell, look back at the Fox Body 5.0 Mustang for god's sake, we can say the SVTC can almost touch that AND it is literally half the displacement.
Yes, I'm very familiar with the specific-output bench-racing mantra...it's been around for quite a while, a bit tired, and you're wasting your keystrokes on me if you think I'm learning something new here.
I beseech you to point out where/if I have talked down on the SVT's output. To the contrary, even though I no longer have it, I continue to praise the H.O. Duratec's specific-power when the opportunity arises in certain circles here at work.
