With the SRT 392 now making 485 horsepower and the way Ford has been upgrading the 5.0 over time, the LT1 may be the least powerful of the entry V8 engines.
If they're smart they won't play that game. The Corvette is already the bestselling car in it's price+performance segment. On the drag strip, a stock Mustang is going to beat a stock Camaro but yet the Camaro has sold better.

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.
