The Alpha has been adapted to accommodate a V8, let alone any higher performance versions that might be planned in the future. To suggest that one platform is better than another based simply on the fact that one was engineered by Ford and the other by GM is laughable.

Perhaps you didn't see the Motortrend Head 2 Head where the gen5 Zeta 1LE handled the S550 GT PP. Chevy say the new SS nears the outgoing 1LE. Imagine the new 1LE!
I don't understand the "sedan" dig by the Ford guys. Chevy dominated with the Zeta platform in gen5 and sharing DNA with the CTS-V and ATS-V for gen6 is a good thing IMO.
