But if it stomps it at the dragstrip like the last version did to the Camaro at that time then it will be a hit. Bragging about ring times when you live in upstate New York doesn't mean a hill of beans to the guy sitting at the stoplight to you in traffic.
Isn't that stock straight line performance thrown out the window as soon as you hit the street also? There's modded cars everywhere on the street so the stock for stock thing really doesn't matter other than bragging rights.
