This car is the complete package. Not just about HP.

Should have elaborated more to what I meant by my post ... I mean basically to get that 440 hp just had a CAI and tune to the GT that has 412 bhp to be the same as the boss, I read the article about the cams and intake, also the new suspension setup that is "limited edition" ... I wasn't talking anything about ANYTHING other than HP ... sorry for the confusion


BECAUSE in the post I quoted if you paid attention, he mentioned JUST HP, and I respectively mentioned HP thanks

Plus it looks killer and not everyone will have one. And that Boss 302 on the side...just frickin' awesome!

440 hp...... Not impressed. 500 hp Naturally Aspirated would be more of interest. Since they used an 09-10 M3 to do the testing against, I am pretty sure BMW will bump the HP up on the M3 to beat it for their 11-12 model. Why doesn't ford do something a little more drastic and stop playing catch up!

Oh well. At least I own the stock!

Gorgeous car, the color scheme is a bit louder then what I'd typically go for but daaammnn I'd take one in a heart beat.

No way I'll be able to afford one, the stock GT was hard enough, but I definitely like what they did. Just wonder what GM and Dodge are gonna do now.

Well Chevy is supposedly working on a Z28 Camaro and Dodge is beefing up the Challenger. I don't remember the specs on them though
