Plus to up the 6.2 L in HP, you would have to clear the hurdle of besting the Corvette, or at least move the Corvette LS3 up and then pushing that closer to the Z06. So there is a lot at stake to simply bump the LS3.

The 2011 die is cast so to speak and it is what it is. The convertible is the Camaro trump card at the end of this year. So considering the Mustang had a convertible all 2010 and couldn't outsell the Camaro...........and the Mustang had rebates all year and the Camaro didn't and they couldn't outsel the Camaro...............I think, and just my opinion, the 2011 Camaro will hold it's own, the convertible will come on board the end of the year and pull big numbers.................and then it's 2012 and we can have this conversation allllllll over again.
I agree!!!

The Mustang appears to be the new poster-child for magazines...but that doesn't make the Camaro inferior, not by a long shot. And when all the odds were stacked against it last year, it still outsold everything else. It'll be FINE.
