No one who bought those cars got screwed. Ford could have just kept the 4.6 2V 260hp engine in it since there was no Camaro or Challenger to compete with it until 2009-2010.

I love how you bash Ford for not "getting off their lilly arse to produce something that even resembles a pony car" when Chevy didn't even produce the Camaro from 2003-2009. At least Ford produced something.

I have to agree. yea the 2010 Camaro was the fire under Ford to come out with the 2011, but Ford at least never did discontinue.. Just glad we have more choices now.

We probably will never know why or what the whole path of direction GM wanted to take then, but they did continue to puch out some quick cars, like the GTO, V8 models of the Impala and Monte Carlo, Pontiac GXP cars.. so there were some competition out there.. just not as popular as the Camaro name!

Converter, cam, exhaust, tune and some drag radials will net low 12's/high 11's. How many Camaro owners would that piss off? 4,000lbs. car running better times than most S/C SS's.

Are you seriously on here bragging about a 13.6 @ 103?

A camaro SS needs CAI and exhaust to run 13.6 @ 103? What is this 1993? is it an lt-1 now?

Are you serious about a camaro not being capable of low 12/high 11's with an exhaust/tune/converter/cam and a tire?

The L99 has went as fast as 11.7 WITHOUT a cam.....where have you been?

And then pick out some people who run slow 12's with superchargers because they are not hooking?

WOW...just WOW

I just did a 13.4 @ 105 mph last week, in a V6-powered 4-door sedan.

All I have is K and N air filters and cat delete, so probably making around 330 hp or the same as a G37 now.

And you're bragging? WOW!

You don't have to explain anything to me I had an 86 with all the usual add ons and a Vortech. But be as it may, the arguments then are the same as now. It's a vicious cycle.. Oh, and in reality the Buick GN was the car to beat then, just for your info..

He has the Challenger and 5.0. I think I remember him saying he got rid of his GT500 for his 2011 5.0.

No he got rid of his SS to get the 5.0. He must have gotten rid of the GT500 for the Challenger. That boy doesn't hang on to cars very long.
