You know, you might be right with the supercharged 4.7 idea. MB does
that quite a bit.

I've been hearing the SRT-8 may have a modified version of the 4.7l and
not the 5.7 HEMI. Since theyre not changing the chasis for 04,
squeezing the HEMI in might be too much of a task for DC's engineers.

If DC follows suit with ford, I'ld suspect a supercharged 4.7 with a
different head & cam config.

But personally, my eyes are set on the new Ford GT. If they put that
bad boy into production, i'll be jumping ship.
