I've actually spoken to Brit's who say that "its a proper sports car the CTS-V is" and that everything else is "too vulgar and crude".

Just goes to show that taste is a gift we acquired when we left mother Britain.

Big deal it looks Pretty it also looks friendly at putting on a set of headers.
I want to hear how it responds to mod's.

Sorry, but that looks the WORST of all of them. It's a big metal lump.

I didn't realize you had the inside info on the gears and suspension options that were coming in the 2011 Camaro.

You..are aware that is what an engine looks like right?

[Russo]

Its going to be interesting with this new 5.0, the 4.6 doesn't make all that much more power with bolt-ons. Thats why everyone supercharges them. I have a feeling the 5.0 making 412 hp isn't going to leave much more on the table in terms of bolt on HP.

Who told you 4.6's don't respond well to bolt on's? (post proof because I can)
Who told you 5.0's won't respond well to bolt on's?

or is that just wishful thinking?

[Mr. Wyndham]

Wow, I missed this one.

Very clean. Nice Job, Ford.

you are aware that the intake manifold on those engines look like crap, right? there isn't enough plastic in the world to cover that mountain of ugly.

and they still use plastic to cover the valve covers and injectors and such. just no cover on the intake, where it probably needed it the most.

So post it. Gaining 50 hp from a 300 hp motor is nothing. Especially when the GM motor is gaining 50 RWHP on top of its 426 base hp.So in the end the GM motor is pushing 500 while you got you 350hp Ford motor. So now the 5.0 is pushed up to 412hp and that is alot of hp for 5.0L.
