That's going to beat the ecoboost no problem.
Are challenger 5.7 owners going to be scared of v6 camaros?
I would never get the v6 but it is going to have some serious performance. Mid 13s stock by a private owner wouldn't surprise me.

If the base V6 did lose 300 pounds as Al O says, that puts it in the low 3,400 range (Amazing!) but lets just say for the heck of it, it will be 3,450 pounds. 335HP...That comes to 10.3 lbs per HP. Throw on a couple easy mods and get 350 HP and that puts it at 9.85 lbs per hp. The base SS 5th gen L99 has a 9.78 lbs per hp ratio at its weight of 3,915 pounds. That's something to think about. Sure...it will be down on torque, but its going to be pretty quick...that 8 speed will help much more in the torque department where the heavier 5th gen with its 6 speed has a harder time.
