Let Chrysler determine the "smartness" of such a scheme.  |
I, still, think it'd have been nice for the L99-guys to have shared the same power as the LS3-guys, but it is what it is. It's not like there aren't aftermarket alternatives to change that so
Besides, a little tweeking, electronically, on that tranny, and maybe a little mechanical muscle (converter) and that car would easily keep up and go right by stock LS3 cars. There's more than just power with automatic cars
