For those seriously concerned about 8-speed automatics and smaller V8s, I suggest you trip on down to the Lexus Store and have at an IS-F...5.0 L with 416 hp + under 3800 lbs (the Camaro will be even less...) + 8-speed paddleshift slushbox = easy 12s off the showroom floor...and laptimes @ VIR roughly = to the CTS-V and '11 Shelby GT500 in Car and Driver's recent 20-car shootout...

Benchmark that for Gen-6...with even more from the next-Gen Z/28...
