The situation is a lot different than everyone hanging on David P.'s pre-production comment of "200 pounds is within our grasp".

In any case, the superiority of the Gen 6 Camaro is simply my opinion. I'm saying that I recognize an engineering situation that bodes extremely well for the Camaro 6. I could be completely wrong at the end of the day. This is all just educated speculation until the car hits the streets. If you'd like to offer your opinion and the basis for that opinion, by all means feel free to do so.
I think we all agree that for model year 16 that will be the case. As the 15 SS already outperforms the GT.

Only issues I have is the way I read your posts I view it as your saying the that Ford won't do anything and that the 6th Gen will dominate through its life.

Maybe in 17 Ford lets some tech from the 350 trickle down to the GT, maybe they tweak the HP. Ford has responded quickly in the last years of the S197 which is why I don't think one car or the other would crush the competition for more than a year or so. I see lots of good back and forth as both companies are pushing each other to make the best cars possible
