It's not like GM has ever built a engine for one model year and then completely changed it for the next model year(post 1987). As far as the exhaust goes that would be a pretty crappy thing to do as well. It wasn't like GM put a LS2 in the GTO and purposely choked the exhaust for a low output so that they could increase the output a year later in response to competition. If that did happen there should be no "it's not ready yet" to it. That would be on purpose crapping all over previous model year owners.

So why didn't the LS3 Camaro have the same output as an LS3 equipped Vette? If the GTO and the Vette having the same output is a talking point, why was this never one?
