Yeah, I know. That is why they need to provide us a butterfly setup (or something) that is easy to defeat for "track purposes only."

ill take a factory SCed LS motor and worry about improving the small stuff after.

Yeah, it would have been a great decision to throw business sense and solid engineering to the wind, rush this car to production within 6 months of the 5th gen release, long before consistant real-world sales data on the new Camaro was established, and with little effort towards testing or chassis/engine design intergration.

For some people, no matter what GM does it will never be right. Personally, I'm just glad to see this car happening at all. Looks to be an excellent Camaro, and one that I'll consider buying myself.
