I think this kinda relates to the ZL1 and Chevy has added pressure as the Mustang topped them with 600+hp for 2013. If I'm the boss at Chevy I just might offer a 675hp option to squash the tang!!! But to sit back and not offer a HP bump in 2013 would see weak to me!

GM did the same thing with the TBSS's.. The 08's and 09's were said to have 395ish compared to the 400hp for the 06 and 07's and my 08 still managed to click off a 13.5 bone stock, down to the paper filter... I know it's only a couple horses, but the fact that there were changes doesn't always mean 1 model year to the next is going to be drastically better and/or worse..
I'm still praying some financial endeavors come through so I can get a 12' ZL1.. I'd rather not wait to see IF GM is going to make any changes, especially with the MASSIVE changes the Camaro is going to see in a couple years anyways.. Hell, IF there are adjustments made over the next year or so, and those changes are liked.. Then buy that part and swap it in!
Some of the changes made from the 04 GTO to the 05 and even the 06's were subtle.. Of course everyone knows about the LS1 to LS2 changes as well as the visual, but what about the power seat motors being upgraded.. How many knew GM changed that?? LOL!
