The introduction was painful to say the least but what about the car itself disappoints you? Is it simply because it is F/I? And if so, what about F/I do you dislike so much that the totality of the what the car provides is irreparable damaged by the F/I aspect? I have been on many, many car forums and part of many different car clubs throughout the years and I am genuinely interested in why so many on Camaro5 dislike F/I motors. Especially when the rest of the cars (ZL1 and the now Z06 Vette) "total package" seems to be very, very nice.

I am not trying to incite an argument, just trying to better understand. I exchanged replies with Norm and he seems to see F/I as a crutch to generate more HP to compensate for ones inability to maximize a cars performance ability from the drivers seat. While I totally respect his freedom to think that way, I think it can take just as much skill to correctly use the additional HP as it does to compensate for not having it. Do you consider F/I to be a "cheat" as well or is there something else that you do not like regarding F/I?
