In real world driving torque>horsepower, and under 4000rpm, the L99 rules in that department.

Why would some people care? Will it change how they live their lives? Not everyone that buys these cars are gearheads

Imagine my grief working at an auto parts store in the 80's. "Ummm, I think it's a 6 cylinder."

I guess I just expect better from a Camaro owner.

And the L99 has VVT.

Hey, I bought the car used for short money. after driving it, was very excited about the car so I bought it. I was told they run LS3 motors. The fact GM runs 2 different motors in the camaro depending on the transmission is screwed up in IMO anyway. Who would have thought?? But really doesn't matter. They are both great motors. If I was going to build or modify one I'd rather have the ls3. But not my intention. I just wanted a nice driving car withe some power to enjoy.

Does the Dual Mode Exhaust add any horsepower on the LS3.. I thought I read somewhere that it does on the corvette ???

AFM really sounds terrible with a good exhaust system.

Paddles on = AFM off.
