That was the point I was trying to make in my earlier post. Nobody knows what Ford is bringing to the table for the 2012 model year, so we better hope GM has set their performance target higher than the 2011 model.
I would bet little to no change in 2012. By little mean a power boost to an exhaust revision or revised intake. I wouldn't expect a huge change like 2010->2011 change from cast iron block to aluminum. Just my thoughts.

They've put alot of R&D into the car... they need to let some sales rake in and profits on the R&D and manufacturing setup necessary to produce the car.

I could be entirely wrong though. Either way, i'm excited about the competition.

Edit: Really slow day at work here... REAL SLOW.
