Well according to Mr. Ted Jannetty (sure you know who that is ) he says the F.I. is the way to go and to not even waste your money with the cam in the L99. TVS puts over 500 to the wheels and according to him it's an absolute beast in the L99.
So with all due respect I stand by his opinions. And as far as 100 hp to the wheels on the auto that is totally possible with the cam as long as you have the supporting mods with it like headers, CAI ,exhaust...

It seems like the up and go of the car would seem like a car from the 70's or 80's with a 350. I say this because of this cars weight. HP to weight is on the heavy side. It was much cheaper for GM to put a higher HP motor in the car then to make the car lighter and keep the same 426 HP motor. Too Bad they could not have gotten the weight down to the 3500 to 3600 range and kept the 426 HP motor...oh well
Really you want the performance of a Camaro from the 70's or 80's?

You look at it wrong, and it scratches. I garage it, and come out going "Where did this come from?" I never drive it!!!!!
really ... none sense.. IT HAPPEN to every car in the world!

I told him "It does. I just gave up on the paint. Wax, wash, buff.....it doesn't matter what you do. It's horrible.
your old man sure dont know how to wash a car...

haaaa! My brain can't hold... too much BS.. how say the challenger fells slow? WHAT THE **** ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!

The shifter that feels like you are shifting with a baby's head. The paint peeling under the spoiler. The frustration of trying to sync a phone to it. Parts are ridiculously expensive for this thing. It's like choosing between supercharging it, or buying another car! The halo headlights changing colors (which means they are about to blow out according to GM techs who replaced one on my car.) The cheap plastic grille that changes colors too. The body dings if it just touches against something (not like 4th gens that could take a basketball to the door.....did it with my 2000 Z28). Back seats only a three year old can get in. Visibility is so bad, most come with back up assist sensors. The most annoying thing of all. THE MOST ANNOYING THING....is you look around, and they are everywhere. So many, it just makes you sick to look at them. It has price gouged the new SS camaros to insane prices. That's the only good thing. Apparently my 2SS/RS is worth 28k on trade? Huh? Yeah...like a dealer will even come close to that.
please make it stop MAKE HIM STOP

The camaro used to be a car for people who were like me when I was younger. I didn't have much cash. I wanted no features, and a big engine. That's it. Now, it is more like a luxury sports car catering to all the old guys whose wives tell them they can't have that corvette.

It may sound stupid, but to me, there is no better sound in the ENTIRE WORLD than an LS engine with full exhaust. It is worth all of the trouble. The handling is great, but traction control can go stupid without warning. The shifting, although the knob just HAS to go, is smoother than the challger and mustang. Feels just like my old one. I liked that. The sheer power is all this car has. The weight holds it back, which is more disappointing than getting a date with a blonde girl to find out later it's just bleached.
In Colombia we have a world for people like you and is HUEVON!!! (sounds like GU-E-BON)

When that opportunity comes knocking, I will do it. It's bad when Paxton's kit for a V10 viper is cheaper than the V8 camaro. It takes twice the time to put it in a viper and tune it right. Hmm. All in all, the camaro is great if you want an american car. In my opinion, it WAS the best of the trio. I will not buy a mustang. I refuse to unless it is a gotta have it green 5.0. Seeing as how they like to price those at around 38-40....umm, no. That's a used viper, or a 911. The truth has come out from yet another SS owner. Great car, ruined by problems. Not big ones, but so many little ones, you feel like you are baby sitting it constantly. I barely drive it, and every day, it gets more and more chips from dust particles floating in my garage I guess. Kids don't go in there. Wife doesn't either. SO, what is it? The paint job that is so bad, Kia feels insulted.
It never was a trio!

I finish and now I have 3 conclusions


1. you never had a REAL camaro and you only say what stupid people say in forums like this + you compared the camaro w the challenger and the mustang like you was the stig but making some BS

2. you are like a blond girl that cry for some attention

3. you are trolling us (congrats my friend you did it you troll my day)

even if your car was the worst camaro ever produce you sounds like a drama person, let me bring some popcorn call my girlfriend and seat in the sofa so you can tell us another drama story

had mine for a year now, and happy with how the paint has held up. I have 2 small chips, one on the door, and one on or just about the gills. pretty small, but noticeable because mine is black and the chips are white. as far as the front end, it's doing great. the "squared off" front end design has been much, much, much more chip resistant that all my other cars that have a slopping front end.

This is true on 90% of late model cars built around 2007 give or take a year..

the majority of vehicles today have this issue because they are not radios but information-entertainment systems that are integrated into the electronics of the vehicle.

Everything by Chrysler
Everything by GM
Everything by Ford
Everything by MBZ
Everything by BMW
Everything by Audi
Everything by Toyota/Lexus
Everything by Honda/Acura
Everything by Nissan/Infinity

since around 2007 requires major modification and moduals and kits to install aftermarket radios.

Hell my 2005 Chrysler 300 required 3 aftermarket modules, one for the CanBus, one for the steering controls, and one to bypass the vehicle amp and electronic (to prevent idiot lights and error codes on the vehicle bus) just to add an after market headunit..

roughly $500 in additional electronics to bypass the factory craptacular sound system, not to mention the $200 double din kit, because the dash cutout was odd sized.

and don't get me started on my 2010 Avalanche or my wife's 2007 Camry.

adding a backup camera to my wife's car with built in GPS cost nearly $700 for the cheapest camera and the "lockpick" device required to use the OEM screen..

Um why would you waste money on a cam if you were not going to do the rest?

The TVS is nice.. but I'm going to be putting out more than it on the LS3 with the LR package which was still over 2k cheaper than a TVS and install.
And then when I bolt that TVS or ECS on next year will be well into the 700s

I know who he is but I prefer how us Southern boys play..

I do not understand why you bought it in the first place.Most of the things you said you don't like about the car you should have seen before you bought it unless your blind. Did you not test drive one, look in the back seat, out the windows, or under the hood? Sell it and buy a Lamborghini i have heard stories you can get one for 30 grand and you will not see them everywhere you look. Move along nothing more for you to see here.
