Aww Evil Twin, your actually complimenting a Camaro!? Omg, I must be in the twilight zone. Touching though.
I love my car, but having the power I have now looking back on the car stock.....man the L99 stock was a big disappointment to me. I'm not taking away from the car's glory, but I feel like Chevy should have made sure the car had the same power as the LS3-426 instead of 400. The L99 puts out far far less rwhp than the LS3, about 30hp less at the wheels to the typical LS3's 360ish. Another thing, the gains from bolt on,...the LS3 can break the 400 rwhp mark easily from just a cai, exhaust, and headers, put those on a L99 and your probably just going to make it to 370ish. I'm just going by the gains I've seen posted on this site and such.
If they gave the L99 more aggressive gearing, and that extra rwhp, the LS3 would really be saying
