Regulations and gas prices say this is the only way to maintain performance for the future.
But....people were probably saying the same thing back in the 80's too so I dunno.
I don't think it would be that bad of a deal either. Hell, look at the Supra...that's been kicking ass for decades

Interesting concept. 3500 lb 350 hp turbo V6 (Z/28)??? I would!
Back in the 80s we had no horsepower ( -200 ) AND poor gas mileage....
$1.45 per gal.
IF the Camaro ( which left us in 02 with 315 hp ) would have returned with
only a 315 hp engine.... how many people would still have been GLAD it was back!?!? My 02 Z/28 was a lot of fun stock... easy to mod too. I am suprised how a lot of people are disappointed to
ONLY get 422 hp (100 more than the last Camaro) of course there is never enough power!!! but a 100 + from the showroom....
100 more than the gt
I am suprised that the BASE LS comes with almost as much hp as the gt...
maybe we are a little spoiled ( or will be when we finally get our Camaro )
