Well, the end of big Liter sports cars has been coming for a while, smog in the 80s and now mpg in the 2000s. Nvm gas prices, Greedy bastards.

so to gain some power you need to replace the heads and manifold...I think my wallet just committed suicide

That's why new v6 cars are daily drivers and our fbody's are toys :)

Makes more peak power then my lt1, but i wanna see the new v6s whole power band, i wonder if its peaky, shouldnt be right?

The 3.6 in the 5th gens makes the same peak HP as my car, but runs a whole second slower in the 1/4. Numbers don't tell the whole story, especially peak HP.

You also have to remember that the newer Camaro's are 3-400 lbs heavier than the 93 - 02 f bodys.

I never said they were pretty, and to be fair our 4th gens are kinda ugly to compared to what they used to look like. lol So indeed each to his own.

ILuvPizzaTimes10 05-19-2011 01:15 PM
