I will say that I doubt Ford would go all out with the 660hp package but they still warranty the 660hp GT500 cars so that is on the table. I think Ford would start out slow. They would probably up the GT500 to 605hp and put the ball back in Chevy's court.
And the GT500 is underrated at 540hp, at least for the 2010 models.

I have to say this doesn't make a lot of sense. A 6.2L supercharged V8 will always be easier to add power to than a 5.4L supercharged V8. You can't look at it from one side and claim Ford will add all this power to the GT500 and GM is helpless to compete with the LSA or a variant of it. Ford warranties the 660 hp package because you bought a 50k car from them and added a 8-10k package, so they can afford to, you are basically spending close to 60k. No way will they sell you that car for GT500 base price. What would they sell as an option?
