Yeah I wouldn't mind a sub 400hp V8 as the base V8 offering in the Camaro if it made it more affordable, in the mid 20,000 range. I think that is perfectly reasonable, as the G8 (a bigger, more upscale vehicle) with a 360 hp/390 lb ft engine starts at $30,000. Also, I agree that performance is subjective based on what you look for. Good performance to a 1/4 miler is not nearly the same as performance to an autocrosser, or a road racer, or a rally driver, or someone who enters open highway races like the Silver State Challenge. Each racing style has its own unique performance demands. I hope the new Camaro is well rounded enough to excel in many of them, just like the older ones were.

AMEN to that!
