Yes they did do a lot to it to make it sound more muscle car like, tuned the suspension for American roads and also meet US safety and emmissions standards.
I have never questioned its performance abilities. It was a nice car, I think they could and should have done better.
Do you think the Camaro would have been the sucess it is today if they had gone the same route as they did with the GTO?
