So I read this thing in Wiki and????

Ford´s Special Vehicle Team (SVT) also released a small series (687 units) of GT500 using the S/C from Saleen. These cars had the 4,6L engine and was equipped with a different 3.73:1 final drive ratio other than the 3.55:1 gearing used on the 5,4 GT500. The power outtake an the 4,6 GT500 was the same as the 5,4 GT500 with some loss in the torque. 5,4 GT500 has 500 hp (373 kW) @ 6000 rpm and 480 lb·ft (650 N·m) of torque @ 4500 rpm and the 4,6 GT500 has 500 hp (373 kW) @ 6000 rpm and 460 lb·ft (632 N·m) of torque @ 4500 rpm.
And I dont remeber seeing anything about this? I cant remeber any collaberation with Ford and Saleen or Ford, Shelby, and Saleen on a particular car (besides the Ford GT(40))? Especially as it occurs to me Shelby almost exclusively uses FRPP as its supplier when it installs non-shelby branded parts.

Odd use of commas for engine displacement aside, I thought I might check around to see perhaps if this was indeed true before I go in and you know, edit this particular entry...

That's not odd, it's the European style. Also evidenced by the use of kW and Nm.

Not sure if it's true though.

I'm leaning toward BS on this one.
