6gen is gonna scat the pak.
new vette with the 8speed is rated at 11.9 by Gm.....they said some have went faster. Even if the camaro weighs the same as it does now with the lt1/8speed hardware in it then it should go 12.5 or so bone stock. If they can shed a couple hundred lbs then you'll be looking at faster than a 12.5 outta a base v8 car.
Why would you want me to eat my words?? Erryone benefits from the performance increasing. Even though the furd guys won't like it much.
Yep....and dat tq errywhere.

Get off the handling aspect of the car too. Take a look where you are at. I have never seen a video of a street race between two cars with any kind of turn in it. The Camaro has always been a drag car up until now, that's where the primary market was. It is cool to have a car capable of more.. just not my thing. MOST of LS1Tech is a drag racing community. So who gives a **** about turning? I guess you have to bring it up if the car is a turd in the straights.
A drag option similar to the 1LE option would be cool and something I would buy. It would be a small market, and never happen because of this. People would rather buy a car for its handling, but never drive it to its full potential.

Come on dude give me a break! Everyone knows that magazine times never tell the true story about what the car can or can't do. That is why the term "magazine racing" was coined years ago.
Pretty weak that you would bring the magazines into this argument...even for you.

Base 5.0 vs. base 5th gen, 5.0 wins. Loaded vs. loaded, 5.0 wins. Auto vs. auto, manual vs. manual, 5.0 wins. Is the 5th gen miles behind? Of course not. But it's a decisive victory either way, ceteris paribus.
