It depends on how it's Packaged...and Optioned. Perhaps "one size fits ALL" LT4s will not be the case.

If the Manual-trans'd LT4 weighs 3900 lbs. it will still nudge the other two @ 6.0 lb/hp. Add about 100 lb. for 8-Speed Automatic.

Point is, the Camaro is a "player".

Comparing LS9 Vettes with LSA Camaros is an apples/oranges deal...and LSA Caddies were how many horses shy of ZL1s?

And YES weight-to-power is NOT the only factor. One only needs to look at the Z/28 for that confirmation, particularly in curvy circumstances...
