How can you say the car doesn't "pull?" A steady smooth torque curve may make the car feel like it isn't quick. Heck, I can check Facebook when I am running low 12's and high 11's with my 16 going down the track. Just because it doesn't feel violent when it is accelerating doesn't mean it isn't pulling hard.

And if your 12 5.0 was stock, it would not be "crapping" on your Camaro. I have had tuned/exhaust/CAI 5.0's with DR's out launch me while my tuned/PTB only car walked them hard for the win at the top end.

Sorry you hate the SOTP (seat of the pants) acceleration of your new car and I'm really sorry you've experienced warranty related fixes. I may disagree with your assessment of acceleration, but if you don't like the car there is nothing I can do to convince you otherwise. I wish you the best and hope you do what's right for you.
