I have a few motorsports hobbies...and I hate to tell you NO ONE>>>>I MEAN NO ONE makes drastic changes the year after a complete redesign/new model ...it just does not make any sense at all...get over it...or wait if you choose.
Case in point...in 2009 Polaris came out with a 70 HP Utility ATV,completely new design for them..at the time the closest competion was a Can-Am at 68 HP...in 2010 Can-Am upped the anty to 71 hp...the 2010 Polaris stayed at 70 and had very few changes really.....it was a brand new design...give it some time...

That is the right attitude to have!

I feel the same way about 5th gen Honda Preludes. It's not the fastest car, but there will always be a spot in my heart for it.

Well I'll give one non-ABM vote for ABM...Synergy Green while maybe it is catchy for some it is down right ugly to many IMO...reminds me of the 7UP Mustang LE....which truth be told was a flop. ABM is beautiful in comparison...

So does my 2010 v6 have 304hp or 312hp and if it has 304hp how do I upgrade??

I'm not an ABM hater, I almost bought one & helped another forum member get a great deal on a ABM 2ss/rs ls3 last week (the car I almost bought).

However, I know all the ABM owners who are forum members voted for ABM in that poll. Having seen both in person they are both awesome.

It's unfair to throw GM under the bus for disco'ing a color that sold 3600 units in the 1st 6 mos of sales (and 6mos prior of ordering).

It has 312 HP. 2010 was underrated.

Read the original thread and see for yourself....

In fact a few that actually do own ABM admittedly voted for SG simply to discourage GM from bringing ABM back, so they could have a rare color....Looks like a fair # of future buyers, including myself, voted for ABM.

Also referencing original thread, some have and still voted ABM. I saw it for first time last Sunday, under bright sunny conditions. Was way too gaudy for me, and apparently quite a few others.

I kno that this is like page 26 or something of this thread... but why has no one mentioned that the the 2010 Camaro WAS ALREADY certified by SAE at 304HP/273lbs...last year.

GM had to do something to get this up another 8hp/10lbs...

This certification was for 2010



it's easily looked up via Google.

Here's another chart of the 3.6L's various SAE Certifications from last yearhttp://www.camarohomepage.com/technical/10_LLT_n.pdf

Actually that certification was for the 3.6 V6 motor in the Cadillac CTS. They carried that certification over to the Camaro when they put the motor in the Camaro to save on re-certifying the motor. And in the camaro that V6 gets a better flowing air box and exhaust. In 2011 they finally certified the 3.6 in the Camaro application.

Plz read my last post (#639). I'm not trying to get in a debate w/u.

I just think that poll is skewed (MO) and it's wrong to throw GM under the bus for the decision not to bring back ABM. The sales number speak for themselves, and the fact that Synergy is coming in as a "Limited" color means it will be replaced by another color (most likely a blue) at the end of its run in the 2011 MY.
