wonder what the RWHP is on that. usually a 17% reduction so... 481.4 I think my 471 rwhp england green Vette might take it.

The first car I owned was a '68 Camaro, purchased in May 1975.

I liked the look then, but I don't like the 'taller' look of the new Camaros. They look like '68 Camaros with an 8 inch extension at the base. I simply don't like the look, nor does my wife. Resolved -- never buy one.

I know I'll be back. I love the Vette and intended on keeping the '08 forever but just don't have the room to have that and the ZL1.

Plus slaying Mustangs with a Vette almost isn't fair. Pony vs. Pony is the way to go and the pip squeak Boss 302 has no chance boys.

Correct! except when they unleash the 650HP GT500, People may hate Ford but you have too admit, they are a great AMERICAN company and they are keeping the pony war in high gear!

I would trade my Vette for a Camaro before a Mustang......So I would get one before never.

JMO, you asked.
