I know this has already been posted in the general photoshop thread, but I think it deserved it's own showing here

Well hers my guess for the GT350. Yup! Just a guess what the heck do I know?
It occured to me last night. With the rumors going around about a 5.2 L, I figured it out, it's not that unrealistic for SVT to offer 3 versions or configurations. You could call them stage's 1, 2 and 3 or whatever.
The basic premise is this. No FPC motor anytime soon. So here goes...
All Ford is going to do is upsize the heads for 5.2L on the current lower end and install the much needed forged pistons to go with the rest of the forged internials.
SVT GT350 stage 1= 5.2L, high flow exhaust like we've seen on spy shots and with the new exhaust numbers we've been seeing, that will put it about 485 HP. That'll take care of Challenger 392.
SVT GT350 stage 2 = 5.2L, Forged pistons, supercharged with 7-9 lbs. of boost for 725 HP. That'll take care of the Challenger HellCat and Camaro ZL1.
SVT GT350R stage 3 = 5.2L, Forged pistons, Supercharged with 7-9 lbs. of boost, 725 HP, 4 corner adjustable coil overs, larger oilpan and pump, ceramic rotors and pads, 18" race wheels. Game over for the Camaro Z28.
What do you think?

+1I like the thoughts. I'm hoping for a NA higher output motor. To me that's the draw. It worked for me on the BOSS. I Know it's not trivial, but a S/C just doesn't have the same compelling argument as a high reving NA motor.
Alas, I am returning to my patient waiting for the reveal. Thanks for presenting a theory.
This image is the image that was describe by the poster who saw the car at the dealer show.

I think we are forgetting the RT Scat pack.. Unless a gt350 will come strolling in at an identical price to the GT... It would be worthless to try to combat the 392.Well hers my guess for the GT350. Yup! Just a guess what the heck do I know?

680-690hp with 4.10 gears would result in endless wheel spin and a lot of lost races.I think we are forgetting the RT Scat pack.. Unless a gt350 will come strolling in at an identical price to the GT... It would be worthless to try to combat the 392.
All they need is a FPC version .. 475-500Hp N/A.
Then get the same motor.. Lower compression.. Crazy forged internals.. Boost it to 680-690hp with an optional 3.90ish to 4.10 rear and a set of 295s.
