Yes it's a small amount. But "so nobody notices"? Come on, there are 3 pages of comments already on this forum alone. I guess my real question is " Since Ford announced a 10hp reduction in some Mustangs, is that going to generate enough of a Camaro sales increase to change Chevy's future plans." I think the answer is a resounding 'no'! imo

I don't think we'll see a gradual change as slight as 5 hp. If the "end" of performance v8s will happen, then it will either stop to a screeching halt or a significant drop will happen, such as a 100 hp or more, as it did in the early '70s.
On the other hand, our v8s today are much more advanced and efficient IMO that they could stay in the market for awhile. None of GM's v8s have been reported as significant polluters, and they are at the moment flourishing in the current vehicle models.
