keyword was..they don't make large displacement engines anymore due to regulations/taxes. Those cars also cost 2 or 3 times a C7 in most cases. That's a lot of money just to stay NA at those power levels. Now all of them have fully embraced FI.

By the way it's funny you talk about the weight advantages of the OHV (which I don't deny, though the more complicated heads add like what, 10 kg/21lbs ?) when you see how heavy the C7/Camaro are... Yes the Stang as much or more

They also don't cost as much thanks to not using exotic materials to cut weight. Even still the M4 is only around 100lbs lighter just as an example, yet has it's hands full with even a base SS...which costs significantly less


If you go in the modding direction FORD warranties Superchargers on the Coyote... and supercharged Coyote make ton of power....Where is the warranty on LT1 superchargers ?

Read the fine print. That's a 1 yr 12K mile warranty if I remember. Only applicable if you paid Ford the money to install it before the car is 2 years old or 24K miles. So what you have done is paid for a warranty against a crappy service tech install. B/c I doubt any S/C install done correctly will have problems within a year. It's only real value is not voiding your new vehicle warranty outright. But any damage caused by the S/C is not covered by your new vehicle warranty either. Is it worth it to someone, maybe. But it isn't exactly a full warranty period either.
