There is not a lot of difference between a L99 and a LS3. Mostly active fuel management…

> Like having a ford is a bad thing lol. They surpassed Toyota in quality last year, thats sayin somethin! Ford has com a long ways in the past few years.

Consumer reports suggest that GM and Chrysler surpassed Toyota in quality as well. I believe its government propaganda to increase sales for the companies they bailed out. Gotta protect your poor investments. That’s why we have garages and insurance.

We all know the Camaro is obscenely heavy compared to the new mustang. That’s a huge advantage for Ford that already has GM working on a gen 6 platform on a traditionally smaller platform with much less steel in the body structure. It is impressive what Ford is doing with the 5.0 considering GMs engines are 6.2L or more and some of them are supercharged.
