While official power figures have yet to be released, GM has said that the LT1 will be "delivering an estimated 450 horsepower" (http://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/n...mallBlock.html). They do not say 450+.

In my own opinion, the LT1 should deliver at least 550 horsepower to keep up with the power per liter of Ford's Coyote 5.0l V8. As I said before, if I were given the choice between a base Corvette or a Boss 302 Laguna Seca, I'd choose the Mustang.
