Actually most of the inspiration came from an engine designed for formula 1 and was planned for back in 2000. This engine was not rushed into production. I was informed of an impending 5.0 to making a come back back in 2006. In fact I posted it hear. I had the ear of the VP of communication at the time through several happenstance meetings before the official release of the 07 gt500. Anywho the engines are designed and proofed way before the rest of the components are built. In other words they were able to "rush it to market" by only having to design the periferals needed to fit in this chassis and get it 50 state approved (including pesky California) in this chassis.

Thanks for posting this. I was a little concerned about this engine being "rushed." I didn't want to run down pay high dollar for a 2011, and then have a rod come out the side of the engine!
