Are LS3 having same issues as L99?
Please make me feel better that the LS3 is not having the same tuning issues the L99s are. I’m a little nervous that the LS3 won’t run as fast as I would expect it to.
I see where GM has fixed Scott’s car and he said that he was able to keep up with a new Mustang the other day. I’m glad to hear that he got his car running better but “keeping up with a Mustang”? He should be walking on a Mustang! There was another OP with an L99 (albeit still with a slow tune) that got beat by a new Mustang. Anyone have any stories of their LS3 tearing up a Mustang or Challenger or something? Please make me feel better. It doesn’t make me want the Camaro less but I sure hope they don’t start getting a reputation for being slow.

I have already proven beyond any doubt to a 09 Mustang GT that my L99 is faster than his.

The car will "learn" how you drive sooooooo if you drive the car like a p*ssy, the car will act like a p*ssy. Ask anyone here who beats on her regularily and they will tell you the car runs like a scolded bandit.

Try again i drive mine like a stole it and it is having issues. 297 hp on the dyno and 6.8 0-60. I took it to the dealer today and as of now no fix. Most likely a tune issue waiting to hear from a gm district rep. May be the same issue as scott but i don't know yet.
