That was just for the show car. They haven't finalized the power plant for the production car, yet.[/b]
I read that because SVT was given the contract to manufacture the GT40, more than likely it will have the sme setup as the car show.
Ford is planning a 2003 release on this. Not a lot of time to come up with a new engine and meet EPA and crash test worthiness if they are back at the drawing board working on a engine/trans combo.

Not sure what else Ford has in it's stable of engines that can come up with 450-500HP and stay reasonably light in weight.
