I gotta say I disagree. These cars are only about 3 years old and have relatively high resale value. 10 year old 350z's with around 100k miles still cost about 10k to this day. Almost 1/3 or less than what many of us paid for our Camaros, yet we didn't get one for a reason. Just gotta give it more time.

yeah, but the LLT with bosch ecu was made for only 2 years. So working on a tune for a 2010-2011 Camaro probably won't net much money. Those damn LFX's.

While I do agree that we have most of the bolt on completed already I still would like to see a few more companies come out with some similar things to see some differences. For example I'm talking about how mace and Vmax both make their spacers and we choose what design we like. If there a few more companies that did make parts for our motor then We would have a few more choices on the little things that help this motor (by little things I'm excluding exhaust and CAI since there are a quite a few options already). But for me I'm going to be pretty much done motor wise once I get my long tubes and a tune

I'm not saying the LLTs don't have value...of course they do. They are great cars, and we do have a decent amount of bolt ons for the LLT so that is good. All I'm saying is I don't see much development money being dumped into our cars since the LLT was only a two year engine (for this Camaro), difficult to tune, and is now gone.

In other news...

Anyone read about the new 4.3 V6 in the General Automotive - Other Vehicles section?

It makes 285HP 305TQ standard which is pretty cool, but it accepts E85 as well, and on E85 it makes 297HP, and 330TQ. Now that is sweet!

Would be awesome if the next gen Camaro V6 acted the same way. Want to take her to the track?? Fill up on E85 a week or so before you go for more power!

Yes I know we've seen good success with E85 custom tunes for our cars, but neither the LLT or LFX tune handles it in the tune from the factory, which is what I'd like to see.

Disclaimer: Not acting as an E85 advocate...just like the extra power!

There are a couple gas stations in town that pump E85. I know there is a Kangaroo Express out on Highway 27 that has it and a BP near the mall.

I have an E85 pump about 15 minutes and for that I've been greatly considering Vince's E85 tune but I don't know how comfortable I feel with it yet. So I haven't given it a shot. Might look into it more after today since I'm done with finals today and I get a bunch of free time back
