The LS3 is a great engine but not when the car its in can weigh close to 4,xxx lbs!
For people who are saying just add hp instead of lowering the weight should just go ahead &  because that's the dumbest thing a car company could do. Why add a huge amount of power when it will barely go anywhere because it weighs so much. Compared to a car with a little less hp & weighs 300-400 lbs less?? Look at the older GT500. Its a brick & a half & barely beat 5th gens. Heavy performance cars are pointless. Weight is a huge factor in a lot of things. Hence why all the rear super cars are all carbon fiber etc so it doesn't weigh much. Weight in certain spots is great. But that's a whole other thing. For drag racing, at the track, & getting good mpg. You want that weight down. Adding more hp & keeping the weight would just put all those to shame 
If anyone at GM is reading this get that 6th gen Camaro in the Mustang range of 35xx lbs  |
If you want lite with power and handling buy a corvette. That isn't what the camaro.
