Small world! Did you have a Stingray C8? I've seen a few running around the general Addison county area. I sold my C5 and I'm in a Chevy SS sedan dad car now for the car-seat space.

I'd say it died out b/c the people with hints have already given them and GM hasn't released anything yet, so there's nothing new to talk about.

Is it actually down on power or is it just a rating difference like DIN vs SEA HP? Although I guess they have to have particulate filters on gas cars there now? So probably really is down on power?
