They are going back in time to good ole days when there was a decal on the air filter to let the world know what was there. If the Vette had a 454 with 390 HP, the EXACT SAME motor in a 1970 Monte Carlo SS had 360 HP. Just look at the SD 455 Trans Am, they were WAY underrated. So was the 1989 TTA at 250 HP. If you going to improve on the 2011 model, make it real, with maybe a better flowing CAI/ prom chip/ exhaust etc...In essence all the stuff the aftermarket boys can make money off of. Just look at SLP when they started. Everything was emission legal, that's why is was called Street Legal Performance. Like it or not, GM is now locked into a HP battle with Mustang for bragging rites and unless they step up tp the plate, Mustang is gonna run right past them. One last side note, in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, Mustang and Challenger have stated they will compete, but as of now NO CAMARO!
