Until we get more info on the Camaro I would say it's going to be very close in a straight line.

A base Scat Pack auto is 4 ,175 lbs roughly with the optional light weight wheels. That puts it at right about 8.6 hp/lb but it also puts it at 8.7 tq/lb

Hypothetically a 3,750lb auto SS with 455/455 would be 8.24 hp/lb and 8.24 tq/lb.

So the Scat Pack has a marginally worse hp per pound but equally marginally better torque per pound.

In a proper 1/4 mile drag I would say it's going to come down to who hooks best and doesn't spin.

The Challenger is no corner carver so it's not going to be a contest there.

As far as I know Dodge has no plans on adding DI to the Hemi, so the power ratings are unlikely to change.
