Fair guess that the new GT500 is AOL because it can't match the ZL1 in three dimensions.
No doubt the 6th gen Camaros are some of the best cars available for the money but that doesn't mean big horsepower numbers don't impress a lot of people.

The base V8 Camaro has always seemed to have an advantage over the other cars in the segment, but the upper performance versions seem to lag behind.
