Forced factory V8. Love the V8 sound but I'm a turbo man for the time being due to the rush and low cost potential. Hope they do S/C the new engine!!!

Peak power is one thing, but if weight isn't drop significantly then a peaky 5L is going to struggle to get the big sedan off the line. Once on song it'll be sweet but off the mark it'll be a slug.

An export market would always be welcome I'd suggest as it adds volume and increases sales potential.
