So apparently in the vacuum you live in what are essentially electric cut outs not only operate 100% correctly but are free also. I understand having two for the NPP exhaust but another set for "adjusting backpressure" for AFM operation, get real.

Yes because there is thread after thread of faulty electric valves in every GM car. This is not the 80s. Also the C7 uses the same setup. Where's the reports of failures there? Think you are living in a world of hate if he is living in a vacuum.

Again, where is your proof that these valves serve no purpose? I never said anything about anything working 100% of the time, nothing works 100% of the time. Never said anything about anything being free either, you honestly think they would add a couple of useless valves that 98% of buyers will never even know are there just so they can charge more? Delusional pal, keep drinking that haterade.

One powerful soul

The 6.2L V8, paired with the standard 6-speed manual transmission, offers 426 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque. Or opt for the high-tech combination of speed and efficiency of the 6-speed automatic transmission with Active Fuel Management. It offers 24 MPG highway† and delivers 400 horsepower".

This Camaro is going to be legendary. Not only did it shed quite as bit of weight, the gearing essentially (theoretically) takes off another two to three hundred more pounds. This car is going to S^%$ and Git...

Request for photo: Can someone get a good pic of the rear suspension from the back? Would like to see how angled the rear shock relative to the arms.

Thanks!
