Default power vs. fuel grade 2011 Stang

ok, i just read on the Ford web site that the 2011 412hp/390tq is with premium fuel. i'm going to jump out on a limb and assume that the camaro #'s are with premium fuel as well. please forgive my ignorance, but i just would like some clarification.

I would think that at least the SS uses premium, not sure about the 6, maybe not??

Premium is recommended but not required on the Camaro SS just FYI

Default fuel / rwhp / price

I was also wondering about that fuel requirement. I've seen info on the SS camaro that says for optimum performance premium is required. In addition, most dyno tuners have been saying that RWHP is about 15% less than flywheel. Does that mean we can estimate that even with using the premium fuel RWHP is 412-15%(60)=352. That is good, and I'm still a bit jealous having bought my car two weeks before this info came out, but with a couple mods on my car it's still only about 15% more HP. Considering how I got a couple thousand in rebates and awesome financing, and how it seems likely that there will be full msrp or market adjustments, I think I'm pretty happy with the bang for the buck.

Agreed, we can also thank Obama for that new car bill that was only for 2009 were you get your sales tax back

you can tell it's a V8 if it has the hood scoop grill thing on top of the hood (sorry for my really wonderful car language)

SS has the open Snout in the middle of the hood, along with SS badge in the upper driver's side grill, along with the 20's and the larger exhaust tips 3.5 I believe, and SS in Head Rest! To tell you the truth there is not much to distinguish them from their little brother V6 counterparts! Glad my GT has some more stand out features

I thought the 20's were part of the RS appearance package?
