The only thing I think of when I see this is, I hope the computer allows the port injection to be modified so that those who want to go forced induction can just simply swap injectors and not worry about the limitations of factory direct injection.

i was listening to different tuners and they said that in the beginning tuning will be very difficult for the new computer that it might take a while to crack the computer .

That and tuning this new 10-speed transmission. I wonder how many transmissions are going to end up broken so that tuners can get the data and testing they need.

Yep I agree. If they keep the price similar to last year's model then it will be an unbelievable value as well

It's getting a small increase.

You also need the performance pack to hit the advertised numbers.

With those two things price will probably be near Camaro levels.

I was expecting 475 hp. I guess ford and the ford crowd are happy to just even the odds.

Chevy won't be in any rush to upgrade the Camaro performance. 475 would have made them act

Ultra is so negative

Who keeps their **** bone *** stock? Once any mods come into play, the 6g is behind the 5.0.

Sounds cool.

I'm not convinced it'll be enough to beat a sis gen stock vs stock.

These new cars keep getting faster and faster. Almost seems pointless to modify your older car. Just lease a new one, beat the **** out of it and then in three years, trade it in for the newer faster model.

It's still fun spending less money and going faster, even if it does take a little elbow grease

And let's face it, at that point why would you buy a 5.0 over a 6g?

Tuners are already thinking with software to be ready for it. Along with throwing boost at it.
