The 15-17 tested at 12.9-13.1 that I have seen. I'm not sure if I saw a 12.8 with the M6 or not. They got a bump of 25 hp and the A10 trans. So how people thought that would translate into a 1 sec difference in the quarter mile is beyond me. I do think that a 12.6 thru the M6 trans is good considering that is almost half a sec faster than the A6 runs. Maybe the A10 will squeak out a 12.4 in testing. I think it is a good jump and comparable to what the SS did when it got a handful of extra power and the A8 trans in 2016 (and weight reduction). It went from being a high 12/13 flat to being a low to mid 12. Those are reasonable gains to expect.

True. Again with the GT350(R) vs GT comparison...Chevy might give the SS the same power as the Vette unlike it has done in past history. But they are not going to make it outshine the Vette in any performance category. Just like Ford is not going to let the GT350 lag behind the GT anywhere. The SS doesn't need a bump really. They can save it for the next Gen. If they give the Vette a bump then I think they might do the same for the Camaro. But I doubt either of them will get one.
