New-Gen to new-Gen? Bring it on...which may not fully happen for a few years...
Regardless of loyalties, practicalities, engine architecture and possible engineering triumphs and add-ons, the Gen-5 Z/28 is establishing a "benchmark". For future Camaros, Fords, BMWs, et al...just as the BOSS LS before it...and many others before them. FACT.

That's what you just did by comparing GMs new gen 6.2 vs fords old 6.2.

Comparing the brand new 5.3 to the 4 year old 5.0 motor. The new 5.3 is on par to compete with the current 4 year old ford offering. When the 15 comes out with a refresed power train the 5.3 will be behind...again. I got 22MPG on the highway out of my 5.0 F150 so I don't see the 5.3 getting to much better than that.
