Here's the text from the article for everyone.

I like what they had to say about all the available performance stuff. Just makes me that much more impatient.

Well, its nothing new, but it is reassuring to hear none the less.
I love looking throught gmpp crate engines, looking at the torque lines (not all have 'curve') and reading their possible applications for their engines, such as for the 572 Quote:

Great find! Its good to know that they are eager to get their hands on one. Their parts dont void any warranty and actually come with a warranty, right?

^From what I understand, it doesn't void the warranty. I believe you can order your car w/ special GM performance parts, take delivery from the factory, and have it all under warranty. It only makes sense to do it that way for GM. They know that aftermarket is a big business. Why not get in it now, make chingos of dollars, and make sure it's done right from the beginning. If SLP were installing special aftermarket exhuast kits on the SS's back in the day, then why can't GMPP do the same?
Yep...I bet it'll happen...all w/ a warranty. |

DGthe3 summed it up for me - not new, but reassuring. And agreed about waiting to buy. I'm glad things are looking like end of 2009 or early 2010 for my purchase.

^yep thats the catch they have to be installed by one of the companys licensed mechanics (dealer mechanics) in order for it to not void the warranty therefore they make even more $$$$ off the parts

Yeah, I think you can get 500+ horse out of a Mustang through Ford. I believe Roush still has Ford's warranty through their Stage III S/C package.
The Camaro's performance future certainly looks bright

That's why the GMPP will be more expensive than the aftermarket... some of that money goes into a warranty $ pool that they use to cover any failures. But with the resources of GM behind it, I DOUBT you'd see any... the engineers know what their doing.
And this is generally awesome news! ~LSx
