I also find it a bit odd that the Camaro is rated at 455/455, with no differentiation between the regular exhaust and dual mode, but 5hp isn't a noticeable difference.

There is no reason to believe that Camaro won't be faster. Pretty black and white.

By the numbers the Camaro should be a bit faster, but the world of drag racing isn't that simple. We don't know how the new suspension design will handle launches, how the power curve will react, shift logic, etc.

I don't mean to sound like I'm talking down to you when I ask this: have you spent much time drag racing in competition
