I think what this really says is that the L99 has no place in a Camaro. If you want gas mileage get the 6 cylinder. Or much better yet GM PLEASE give us the option, L99 automatic (for those who want a V-8 but don’t mind having no torque and getting beat by 300hp Mustang GT's). Or the best option would be a 426hp LS3 automatic with the gas guzzler tax. Give us the choice, please!

What I still don't get is why my 6.0 LS2 in my 2005 GTO got 17+ MPG and this new 6.2 needs all this "crap" on it to get the same mileage. I guess it would be because of a aerodynamics. The GTO has the styling of Ford Probe on steroids but 400HP cures all defects. I never did a thing too it and loved the way it drove, but never liked the way it looked.
