that is very true i bought an 04 GTO and i loved it for a year then my buddy buys an 05 GTO with the LS2 and blows my doors off, so i dumped that car and got a vette... then chevy dumps the LS2 because it was a joke and builds the amazing LS3... i think the main reason they dumped the LS2 was because it just didnt respond well to cams and basic bolt-ons like the LS1 did.. plus a LS2 vette wouldn't out run an LS6 C5Z

Sell it, get a 98+ and mod it. The Camaro is not out soon and the brand new will be expensive,but not as much a the Challenger, except the top of the line camaro. They cant sell Camaros 42000$ It would be a suicide. Even a Challenger at 42000$ is stupid. Why they didnt put R/T with the Hemi first???Maybe because theres a new Hemi comin..

There will be a z28 with the ls2(360hp like the G8) costing 35k$.

Life changes fast, in 3-4years, your gonna have kids, wife, a minivan and no money for damn cars.

Bottom line, mods are a waste of money. Buy one already modded, except if you have lot of cash, skills, time and a garage.

mod the lt1. so when you see the new camaro being driven by some teenager who thinks it's the fastest car on the street, you can blow his/her doors off with the old school'ish power of the LT1!! and could be cheaper then buying a brand new car and modifying it. i though about getting an ls1. in the back of my mind i didnt want to go from 2k in debt to 30k+

just my .02
