And no, its not a new mill either - its the trusty 4.2L bored and stroked to 4.7L and an extra 50 bhp. You could get there with a chip on the 4.2L or even further with a Ferrari head/chip

I don't think that is the case. You should go back and read this thread. The car is vastly lighter than a GS and uses extensive carbon fiber. It has a similar power to weight ratio as a 430 despite being down on power. I don't think a GS comes even close. Don't spread misinformation.
