While entertaining, I think we should wait until the 11s hit the drag strip. Also, we really should wait until the 2011 MY Camaro comes out before we say conclusively the 5.0 can beat the LS3, or even the L99 for that matter.
With that said, I'll concede the 11 GT is the quicker car by the reviews. Now unto people actually taking them to the strip and see who wins. As well as GM answering back.
Or we keep bench racing and prove nothing?? Lol.....which is fun too I guess. I keep posting in the threads, lol.

Well, you can't really fudge the subjective data, same track, same day, same conditions, the Mustang had the quicker time. I wouldn't count on anything more than gears suspension upgrades for the 11 Camaro, and I am not sure the gears would actually help and may even hurt as from NHRA Stockers post in the vs section got me thinking, it would almost certainly cause an additional shift to be needed before the end of the 1/4 mile and the difference between 3.45 and 3.73 gears isn't that much anyways. And yes we will see more when the 11 Stang hits the tracks, but considering the 12.9-13.1 the Camaro has gotten from them is a pretty good match for the average LS3 times (maybe even quicker than alot are seeing), I'd say this is a damned good indication of what we will be seeing when they get in the hands of owners.
