I'd personally love to see GM license that motor and put it in the Vette.

Well I stand corrected, I was unaware that the 2013 had 650 horses. I think the Shelby is an awesome car, would love to have one, I'm a car guy (not necessarily a GM, Ford, Dodge, whatever) just like great cars of any make / model. Still think the 2010 Zr1 will wax it due to the other factors like weight distribution, suspension, etc.
About the "most powerful production V8 ever built" I assume you mean horsepower per cubic inch?
