OOOOOOH!!! My reason for posting the CTS-V thread in the first place was to give a peak into what the LSA may offer in the Camaro Z28.

I believe the Camaro will only benefit further with the LSA engine in it. ALtho I am a firm believer that GM would be a fool to give the Z28 the 556HP version, without either boosting the CTS-V up to 600. Cadillac guys will be pissed. Second off I think that if Chevy does give it an LSA.. the Z06 should get the same set-up. The Vette would be OK with this as it is over 700lbs lighter. I mean seriously... if the GT500 is the Z28's intended target, the GT500, weighs the same thing as the Camaro SS. But it still doesn't have IRS, despite it having 115HP more and it still doesn't perform that much better than the SS... and it still costs damn near $50K compared to the SS's $34K.

I'm sorry but this is one for the books... I seriously am awestruck that a 426HP $34K Camaro, weighing only 15 lbs less... ran with a $50K 540HP Mustang (that's 114HP more)

Camaro Mustang
0-30 mph 1.9 sec 2.0 sec
0-40 2.6 2.7
0-50 3.5 3.7
0-60 4.5 4.6
0-70 5.7 5.5
0-80 7.2 6.8
0-90 8.7 8.2
0-100 10.5 9.7
Quarter mile 12.9 sec @ 110.7 mph 12.8 sec @ 115.3 mph MT COMPARISON

YES the Mustang beat the Camaro... by 1/10th of a sec and 4 MPH. That is pathetic, and basically says that if the Camaro even remotely got the LSA (560HP without the "Quiet Tuned" exhaust from Cadillac restricting it) it would MURDER the GT500. Fact is that a Camaro with just the Base Corvette's 436HP LS3 would at least equal the GT500, altho I'm betting it would whip it.
