I find maybe its by area, but I'm going to get by with 375 rwhp N/A and 575 Rwhp on the spray. Even if say the new Camaro comes out with a base motor of LS2 for instance, well I should be able to stomp one N/A.

I'm just hoping they do something with the interior. That shifter has to go.

does anyone think the AFM will be an issue?, so far as performance and modifications. i kinda just thought that would be something that people deleted, but I don't know much about it.

active fuel management - the computer system that shuts down cylinders to promote fuel economy. for instance, driving around the city the car will probably only operate on four cylinders, but will use all eight when the throttle is opened up all the way.

Is that even going to be on the Camaro? I almost thought GM would keep such wizbang gadgetry off of their high performance vehicles.

well, i haven't been keeping up with all the articles, but when i was talking to a rep at the Power Tour he handed me a pamphlet and was telling me about. He mentioned it, the pamphlet mentioned it, and i read it in a car and driver. but it could always change.

I hope they don't use the AFM. Sounds neat and all, but save it for the trucks and what not. Seems like a big hurdle for mods. The new LS3 Vette doesn't have it does it? I don't think it does. If it doesn't have it then I don't see why the Camaro would.

I'm going to wait and see what the pricing is; if it's close to the Vette in mark up then I might lean that route !
