Power wise, of course its great but my view is that this car is supposed to be the next step and a benchmark and we all know it is. But average consumers are going to see 450hp Corvette, 426hp Camaro, 420 Hp Mustang and go HMMMM
WE know it will perform great, but I think 480 wouldve put that wow factor that its lacking in terms of power not performance.
And Ultimately, this is a forum, people are gonna comment whether its good or bad. I praised the Vettes design in the inital threads about it and still do, But in the SS thread im bashing its design.
I think the other thing Revo was trying to get at was the Politics revolving the Stingray and our Forum that I wont comment on, but its awfully obvious.
Anyways love it or hate it, the next gen Vette is coming, I for one have it on my list of possible cars to get which includes the C63 AMG and Viper.

So then what was the concern when up to the end of last week the Camaro and the Corvette had exactly the same engine with exactly the same HP.
To be the benchmark, isn't an "at least" 450 HP enough? Doesn't anybody remember the ZL1 numbers? GM blew the original numbers into the weeds.
What I laugh about is 450 is a "joke" a "travesty". But miracle of miracles 475 wouild the cats behind??? So a 5% change goes from a POS GM should be embarassd about to the benchmark? And that is all without GM ever announcing an official number.
That's why some are picking on Revo.
Here is a prediction and you can not the post number and the time and date: When the official HP number is announced there will be at least one thread about "why can't the Camaro have that much HP. It just isn't fair that Chevrolet gives the Corvette a better engine than the Camaro"

My time spent on C5 has dropped off drastically in the last 6 months or so, and responses to this topic have thrown the cause into sharp relief.
Sadly, my time spent here will only continue diminish. Seems this forum is more an arena for fans of the latest and greatest, rather than fans of the Chevrolet Camaro.
I'm sure I'll be missed.

So you don't get why we are defending the opposing position? You made some bold statements, the "family" says "whoa, wait a minute" " You are basing tyour comments on an "unofficial" number. Why would anyone go against you. Why wouldn't everyone agree with me???
If you go you'll be missed.
If you stay, voice your passion. Voice your concerns. Voice your ideas. Just expect that some will agree and some won't............................and have fun with it.
Keep in mind, I've posted things that are absolute facts and had people disagree with me.
