morgan motorsports?

since Morgan motorsports has made many concepts of the 4th gen camaro/firebird, how great are the odds of them working with gm instead of slp on a 5th Gen, my reason for asking is that it seems that most of what they do is based off of the ls1/lt1/ls6
would yall prefer GM stick with SLP or go to Morgan or just make it all done by GM?

Morgan Motorsports probably does not have the resources to do something on the scale that SLP could. SLP also has the experience

Lingenfelter.

If I'm going to pay an extra $5000, I'd at least like to get some appreciable power out of it.

Can you imagine a FACTORY-BACKED Lingenfelter Corvette, Camaro and Firebird? Available straight through select dealerships with a relationship like Ford has with Saleen, Roush and Steeda? John Lingenfelter has always been a GM guy. I have always wondered why GM refuses to get more involved with aftermarket tuners.

Ahh well, one can dream, right?

I'm going WAAAAY back into the memory banks here...

But I think Lingenfelter may have been the source for some of the powertrain development for the turbocharged Corvettes from Callaway that were available from dealers.

Regardless, Lingenfelter has something SLP does not - a real performance reputation.

If somebody says "SLP" to me, I think really expensive hoods and badging.

If someone say "Lingenfelter", I think twin-turbocharged Vettes drag racing against F-16's.

Call me crazy...
