I had a good one the other day. "Man that car's bad ***! What's it got a 5.6?" (he was reading the Ws6 badge on the back. I respond "nope 5.7"

Another one I really love just happened today in the fire academy. "How big is the motor?" "346ci all alluminum" He retorts, "Whats the mileage" "oh around 17-19 in town and 26-28 on the freeway." Of which everyone was shocked and litterally asked why they were driving hondas that do the same.

KUDOS!!!

That is how GM sold the Camaro!

Featuring a Corvette derived engine.

It is a hell of a lot better than basing the car off of its reputation (thank you mullets and the 3rd gen).

Car is looking awesome man! Just a tip though, you better re-size your pic, or an admin will remove it for you.

Yes the IRS has to do a lot with it, i read up on this when i had my corvette, and the IRS dyno'd about 10rwhp less than a straight axle car. They suck for the drag racing. Thats why you see a lot of these 03&04 cobra owners swapping to the straight axle. As far as the exhaust, if anything it has a higher flowing one over the trans-am (non WS6). Ans the intake is suppose to me flowing too.
