There are options out there and other companies achieve better HP ratings on smaller displacement engines but we are OK with settling on "what is available" I did pay to play when I bought my SS back in early '09 and being and R6P car I purchased it without seeing one in person because I WANTED it and I could. I think it is time to step up the game and GM has with the addition of the LT series motors. That would be my choice for the engine in this car, and yes it would be more expensive, but putting an out-dated LS7 in the Camaro just to say my D*$k is bigger than yours is absolutely dumb. Spend the money, pull it into your garage and mod it yourself, get to know your tools, change the cam, change your own oil..you'll have the satisfaction of you're own success and an awesome performing car...that's how I grew up.

I agree with most everything but the mod it yourself idea. When I was younger I always did minor maintenance and upkeep on my cars. Now, I don't have the time or desire. But assuming I had both, I wouldn't want to void my warranty unless I knew I had enough coin in the bank to pay to fix whatever I broke
