Here's my thumbnail analysis
1) Compare the Vette and Camaro performance with the LS3 mill as a baseline.
2) Assume the same jump in performance the Vette when LT1 installed.
3) Adjust for 200 lb weight reduction.
1) Baseline C6 Vette, G5 Camaro SS
Vette = 3300 lbs,436 hp, 430 tq
0-60 = 4.0, 1/4 =12.4
Camaro SS = 3900 lbs,426 hp, 420 tq
0-60 = 4.7, 1/4 =13,1
Delta 0-60 = .7 , 1/4 = .7
2) LT1 jump in performance
C7 vette 460 hp, 465 tq
0-60 = 3.8. 1/4 =12.0
LT1 Delta 0-60 = .2, 1/4 = .4
3) Weight performance bonus
Looking at the difference between the Vette and Camaro.
600 lbs and 0-60 = .7, 1/4 = .7
Let's assume the world is basically linear so it's approximately .1 sec per 100 lbs. so it's an additional . 2
So the numbers we have all been waiting for are......
Camaro SS (LT1) 0-60 = 4.3, 1/4 = 12.5
