When people were claiming the GT would do mid to low 12's they were going under the assumption it lost 300lbs when it gained close to 100. Simple logic tells you that the small hp bump was countered by the IRS's inability to put down as much power as a straight axle. The small increase in weight is the reason they're a little slower.

We know for a fact what the LT-1 does as it's in the Stingray. We know the Camaro is at least 200lbs lighter than before, these are not rumors. The Camaro is 400lbs heavier than the Stingray.

If Dodge doesn't change something to the 392, the Gen6 will be faster regardless of your opinion. It weighs nearly 500lbs less for crying out loud so I guess you should be prepared to be surprised.
