Why would GM spend money making the car better for 350 or so cars, that’s a fantasy. If they were going to increase power or any other worthwhile mod they would have done so long ago so that they could justify the expense.
Many point to the one year only ZR1 effort on the Corvette, that makes some sense, first off the car wasn’t cancelled and makes money. It was the end of an era for the front engine car and Chevrolet knew it. The Camaro has been fizzling away because Chevrolet essentially stopped development after 2018’s awesome intro of the 1le.
Dodge on the other hand kept developing the Hellcats with exactly what red blooded Americans want, more power. It’s a great formula and Tim Kuniskis gets it. Horsepower equals car sales. GM moved Al Oppenheiser out of Camaro and the car effectively just stagnated. Think about it, they actually castrated the car by removing the 1le for the last year, good for me bad for those who held out.
