are turbines really the kinds of hp/kg?
also
I know they produce trust, but you can always bolt a flywheel to it and move a transmission and wheels right?
does this mean a turbinepowered car can power both the wheels and provide thrust?

you could, in fact thats what the abrams tank does with its turbine engine. But the problem is that it would reduce power as the flywheel would reduce the amount of air being compressed. It's just unnecessary.

So far, the highest rating any 3.5 has gotten, is 380hp (in the Navigator).
The LT doesn't have a turbo, intercoolers are lighter (thanks to water/air being more efficient), and has no piping, just some small water lines. Therefore, it's reasonable to assume the LT's ancilliaries are lighter.

>comparing a supercharged Chevy to a turbo Ford
Apples to oranges. At elast compare turbo Ford to turbo Ford. Also, most sources are saying between 600 and 650hp.
Now, for an actual comparison:

16 years, Ford's massive engineering budget, extensive amount of carbon fibre and other weight reduction materials - and the GT is only 70lbs lighter.
tl;dr V6 a shit.

About the same as a set of turbos. A supercharger + water/air usually weighs elss than two turbo's associated piping, and the chassis packaging is a lot easier, meaning further weight reduction there.

Not only that, but
>intercoolers are lighter (thanks to water/air being more efficient)
Do you not realise you require two heat exchangers and water routing for such a setup? Do you suffer oxygen starvation to your brain?
