why is everyone talking about power ratings? you act like the common person knows about wheel horse power and over and underratings. i tried to explain to my friend that LS1s are the same in a vette and a camaro (for the most part) but he couldnt grasp the concept. he refuses to believe anything other then the fact that a SS makes 15hp more then a Z28 LS1 and the vette makes 40hp more then a Z28.

we know the truth, but we are severely out-numbered. a common person will look at the numbers and believe the Ford and Dodge are far superior, and that might hurt sales. and to be honest i was really hoping for a stock forged motor FI car. the ease of modding on those cars are amazing! bolt-ons that give you an extra 100+ reliable horsepower? the GT500 looks really tempting compared to a 6.2 motor thats only putting out maybe 50hp more then a bolt on LS1.

i passed up a slammin deal on a low mileage LS2 Goat this past weekend in hopes of a 500+ hp 5th gen in the future. i guess its my stupidity to think that GM would try to beat ford
