Back to the original topic.
Ford has been raising the hp levels on the GT, and it doesn't take much to make them smoking fast at the drag strip.
Dodge is now offering the 392 in the RT line, and with 485 HP to boot.
As far as halo cars like the GT500 and Hellcat, Chevy is pretty far behind the curve.
The 5th Gen is no lightweight, just barely lighter than a Challenger, and it's going to be interesting to see if they can lose substantial weight for the 6th Gen.
With the current EPA and safety regulations it's something that's proven difficult to do, just look at the new Mustang's weight gain.
The LS3 is a very capable engine, but if Chevy wants to play the musclecar game it needs to up the ante.
