05 Vette vs. 05 GTO

I thought GM only claimed to have detuned the LS1 for the TA. From the dynos I've seen, they were putting down identicle numbers.

I thought it was the same in both too, but since the Camaro/Trans Am make maximum power at 400 rpms lower than the Corvette, it makes sense that their maximum power is lower.

We're talking about the '05 GTO, which will get the same engine as the '05 Corvette.

400 hp 395 torque, same as '05 Corvette.

My god, it just got uglier...... The Moaro was never meant to have hood scoops.....


It's also interesting that it gets an LS2.... I wonder if that'll extend to the Vauxhall/Holden Monaro?

[kman10587]

There are rumors that Chevy is going to bring back the Chevelle...do you think that they will, and if they do, will it get the LS2 as well? And how is all of this going to affect Corvette sales?

Note to Chevy, try to make an attractive car if you're gonna bring it back. Seen the nomad?

If there gonna bring back the CHevelle they better make it look a lot like the older Chevelle. I wish they would make the GTO look like the older GTo's
