However history could repeat itself, like when the ZL1 was released with a little more power than the prior GT500, but then Ford rained on that parade quickly with the 662 hp GT500. Either way it should push for continual improvement for all brands.

Call me pessimistic but I am 100% sure that is what is going to happen. The ZR1 launched with 638/604 and the ZL1 launched with 580/556 3 years later... The Corvette has to be the most powerful car in the fleet at all times, and as long as it exists, the Camaro will never be as fast out of the box as it should be, which will give Dodge and Ford plenty of breathing room.
Though I think Dodge is just flexing with 707hp - it's bragging rights. The new SVT probably won't have similar figures. And the Camaro has proven to be the top dog on the track.
