The main reason is that even though the car pushes out both over 400hp and torque, it felt weaker than the Camaro. Why? Because a V8 just has so much natural power that you can really feel it. This is why super cars, and companies like Mercedes, BMW, etc...use V8s and V10s for their massive power. Forced induction is used to bring make the power even more over the top, but it's the natural power that really gets you going.

It's the displacement. The 6.2 is twice as large as that in the Porsche. The Porsche is SMOOTHER and more REFINED which it was it may not seem to have the power of the Camaro. Take them out to the track and see what happens. It's torque that gets you going. The smaller engine needs the turbo to make power but a turbo pulls air from the exhaust which requires the engine to get going before the turbo kicks in.
