I am imagining that the new SS will perform close to what the ZL1 does today, and when the ZL1 hits it should perform like today's Z/28....if and when there is another Z/28, I think it will elevate the performance to a new level for Camaros.
the new SS will improve allot. But not ZL1 performance out the box. I think lighter a bit more power maybe 450hp bring the 0-60 to 4.3 - 4.4. I don't see the standered SS knocking on the ZL1/stingray's door so soon.

The power in the current SS is not bad still. That was never the issue with the 5th gen. Its the weight and handling of the standers SS. You improve that and I don't think people would mind 0-60 and 1/4 time at or around the same as the current SS with 1LE pushing the envolpe closer to the current ZL1 as far as 0-60.

The new SS will feel ten times better around the track. Track times are what's important now. Chevy showed that with the development of the 1LE, ZL1, and Z28. Overall power is not there main concern.
