I would of definitely ended up with the SS if it had the strength and performed more on par with the Boss302. The L99 was also another big disappointment as it felt lazy and didn't blow my hair back at all on my test drive back in 2010 as my buddys stock G8 felt better and I just didn't want to spend a bunch of $$$$ in mods to make it competitive and personalized from the others I would meet at the track, dyno's and show's. I opted to spend an extra $100 a month on a GT500 which took care of both performance and individualism.
If all the magazine testers can get the auto ZL1 to trap 120+mph w/o heat soak then I will make the jump back into a Camaro.
I remember picking up a Car & Driver type magazine 4 or so years ago where they were testing heavy $100k ish performance luxury sedans and they were all running well into the 11's bone stock on stock tires by magazine testers. I expect stock 11's form all the testers from the next round of SVT/GT500 and hopefully the ZL1 because they are currently both capable of it with very little mods.
12's are so last decade and most of the decades leading up till now....its time for the big 3 to step up and give as 11 second muscle/pony cars.
