Yeah it should. The weight is waht bothers me. and to be honest I haven't been impressed by any of the numbers the aftermarket tuner Camaros have been putting out from HPE, Lingenfelter, SLP, Saleen, etc... IT seems the best numbers are not too far off from the 2010 GT500 with them all having alot more power, excpet for the Hennessey 650 Camaro that thing is a beast. But the Z28 I think will havbe a 3.73 and the SS should go there too hopefully for them. I know the GT500 with the SVT Perf Pack this year gets the 3.73.
All I know is GM was at a disadvantage already with the 2010 by not having anythinbg to compete with it. And just when the clouds seem to part on the Z28, Ford ups the ante with the 2011 GT500, doesn't bother me one bit. I think all this Z28 got Ford to really work hard on this new GT500. They really don't want a Z28 comnig in and just taking the throne they are making GM earn it!
