The new 5.0 is not part of the "modular family", although it is still DOHC. The new gt500 is supposed to be a twin turbo version of the 5.0L.

God damnitt For, get off your asses and make a fucking pushrod motor already. Chevy and dodge dont seem to have a problem with ti.

I fucking hate OHC motors.

Correct, it's kind of a hybrid between the mod motors and the motors they have been building for Jaguar for years.

Why the hell would you prefer a pushrod?

Sure, but you don't need pushrods to do that with proper engineering. See the naturally aspirated Mercedes 6.2 liter making 464lb-ft or the boosted 6 liter making 738lb-ft (starting at 2000rpm).

Then again, why focus on horsepower? When building a car from the ground up I'll take horsepower with appropriate gearing...then again I'll take an independent rear suspension too.
