These cars come from the factory already with a real built motor that easily outperforms the oldies that idled like that. The reason the new ones don't idle like that is because they come with variable valve timing and not just a set cam like the oldies. If its poser to want to tune your car to sound like that then may as well not alter the exhaust mufflers for sound effect either. Also if I remember correctly the Ghost can had no detrimental effect of performance other than a lopey idle. GM delivers these cars from the factory for smooth idle because thats what most want. They probably could just as easily release them with a lopey idle.
