Default Does it bother anyone?
Does it bother anyone that we spend lots of money on our cars for full boltons and gears and cams and **** to make 400RWHP (alot of cam only cars dont even make that much) and some jackass (that dont even know what an LS2 is) is going to smoke our *** in a 09 Camaro? ******* A

I expect you'll be able to WAX an 09 Camaro if you've got 400rwhp chief.

The 09' HP ratings are at the flywheel and most of the guys here are listing actual RWHP.

You still have to get it to the ground to win. I'm not to worried about them, but boy they sure look pretty

400hp can be obtained with cam, headers, tune. i really dont consider these items to be "a lot of money."

would seem odd to me to keep an ls2 in camaro when they will be using ls3 in other cars. maybe they will do the notorious engine change a year or 2 into production

The LS2 has a bigger market for aftermarket products and more tuners know it. the LS3 is not very well known.
