I believe they are referring to the mustang version of the 5.0, which has turned out to be a c6 corvette killer lol. 360rwhp all day long, 415rwhp witha cai/tune/midpipe change...the new 5.0 is just a wickedly awesome engine. The truck version of the 5.0 seems to be missing about 40bhp, but it still skoots all things being considered.

It can't detonate because there is only air in the cylinder on the compression stroke. The fuel is injected directly into the chamber right before it sparks. Works very similar to a diesel except it uses spark not compression to fire.
