I think you misread something.

We have to remember the SS will likely be "de-tuned" to not match the Vette. I say 4.0-4.2 should be a reasonable target.

Its when you add bigger turbos is when you will give up low end power for high top end numbers. True that...but...what I said above lol.

If they can keep the weight down, I don't see why the SS should be any slower than the ATS-V. I don't know if the torque curve of the LT1 gives up much over the LF4 but I can't imagine it being enough to have the SS be significantly slower.

There was someone on the forum that said that the LT1 is actually lighter than the LF4, I don't know where they got their facts from though. |

The various mags that have been comparing the new GM 8-speed auto vs the old 6-speed have all knocked off a tenth or two from the 0-60 and up to a half second off the 1/4 mile. Most of the articles I've read have been on the pickups and SUVs with the most recent a GMC Yukon. I'll have to grab some links.

Not arguing, just wondering. Why would they have to de-tune the Camaro? It should weigh 300-400lbs more than the Vette with higher CG. Even with the same power, I can't imagine it would match the vette in anything.

Has been that historically for the last few generations I know. 4th Gen F-bodies were rated up to 50hp lower than Vette at the time. C6 was rated at 430hp while the 5th Gen Camaro was at 426hp for the manual. No reason to expect it won't continue. There's never been an official reason given for it, but most agree they don't want the Camaro to appear as fast as the Vette to the uneducated buyer, you know the mid life crisis guy who typically buys the Vette
