Honestly, I expected more. Maybe, as other have said, this is only the first volley of information and more is to come.

..now I have to change my stickers again, and what about all those already published literature? Who's in charge of marketing again?
It is a brilliant marketing ploy.

You may or may not be a troll but I find it amusing that so many people who find this car UGLY spend time on this forum. I have yet to spend time on a Mustang or Challenger forum to quote "stay up to speed" because I have no need. There are numerous ways to "stay up to speed" rather than trolling on a forum based on a car which you find ugly.

Looks like this mod was easier than I thought!
...and I use 93oct all the time ...so if they based the 2011 off 91 (assuming this theory coming together has any teeth to it) then I may have 313hp! haha, I just find the whole thing comical

So no actual change to the v6? It sounds like they just certified it and the certification measured it higher. Does that mean 2010 window stickers will be updated?

But still. And not only that, Chevy is REALLY bad about this.

Millennium yellow, Le Mans blue, Synergy green....all 'special' colors that became not so special the next year

There is a GOD and he does love me!!! Hell yes! Umm I mean Heaven Yes! So now I wonder what color it will be or you will have the ability to change it (wishful thinking)
