From a strictly performance-oriented perspective, I would be excited about the new technology if I wasn't so concerned about the lost aftermarket. If they start the Generation V too soon, then some aftermarket support for the previous Camaro platform will be diverted, resulting in a strongly supported 2005 to 2009 Mustang and a somewhat supported Camaro. Don't get me wrong. I think that the Camaro will make a splash regardless of when the Generation V is released. I just think that companies will focus on the new technology, leaving those behind that are using the old technology. This is exactly what happened when Cobalt LS and LT owners with the e16a ECM were abandoned by such companies as HPTuners because a new ECM was implemented. The 2007 tune was created long before the 2005 tune, and many tuners traded their Cobalts rather than waiting any longer than the 2 years they had already waited.
