Potato - potahto, lol. It's easy for me to remember because that's when I fell in love with CAMARO
I probably still have a little shootout where they pitted an LT-1 against an LT1 - that was pretty cool
I guess that reverse-flow cooling and rubbish distributor wasn't enough for them to call it a Gen III, lol.
I do wonder if they'll come up with another cam or something. I believe the top end will support a bigger cam, but that's not going to help with MPGs, I'd imagine. However, in a case like yours, where it sounds like the car is running rich, I'm sure there's more power to be had
That's how I'm trying to rationalize DI in my cabeza, lol.
Kinda' going back to the Y-bodies getting the Gen V first, I kinda' wonder how true that is in this climate. It seems to me that CAMARO is more mainstream and selling more, so why not keep up the enthusiasm and show the public it's not a big fat heavy pig of a car (not my opinion - just what I feel like a lot of the automotive press suggest it is) it is, and show GM's stuffing all the technology that car will support (and that money can buy) and try to continue to keep it's presence in the market strong and relative. That's just me though
It seems like if there weren't the baffles and resonators in the intake that most of the intake restriction (at this power level anyways) would be eliminated, for the most part. It'd be nice to have a little more Performance Parts support, but I'd rather GM keep the car up-to-date and high quality than focus on aftermarket parts I would likely be able to find a little less expensive. If Z28 gets a dual-mode exhaust, maybe SS could share it as an option, like 'Vette does
- there's a bit of power. I think focusing on the chassis would be better, IMVHO. These 6.2s respond quite well to bolt-ons, so power, IMVHO, isn't as big a concern as handling.
