That would be stupid why use 10 when the Lightning can be faster with 8. It will most likely have the 5.4l with DOHC and of course SC. There was a posobiliy for a 6.2l motor but Ford scraped that project.

Yeah a 600 hp none supercharged V10 is much slower than a 500 hp supercharged V8.

They didn't scrape the project. They put too much time and money into the development and all they did was drop the A/C Cobra. Ford is seriously talking about making a Shelby GR-1 which will have the Cobra's engine and will be another supercar like the GT-40.

from an atomotive news article they did scrap the 6.2 liter engine. Pluss i really wound not want a Lightning with a V10.
