I expect a performance upgrade in the next Camaro but I'm also not worried about what the highest end models will or won't be capable of.
That's because the Camaro was the newer car overall. With a new chassis and IRS, the Mustang will have no problem selling.

An LT4 Camaro @ 3800/650 = 5.85; @ 3900/650 = 6.00...with Automatic.

Don't fall on your swords just yet. It's not a matter of "IF", but a matter of "WHEN?!"
We have to wait until the CTS-V comes out to see what kind of power the ZL1 will probably get but I don't see either getting all 650. 600 to 615 is my guess. Maybe 625.
