This car has a gearing advantage over the Camaro, 3.70 vs 3.45, and it has quite a bit smaller tires, 26.7" od versus 28.7" of for the camaro. It has the same gearing in the trans. It is enough to allow it to use 4 gears (for the manual) instead of 3 in the 1/4 mile run. I think the gearing will make up for the weight difference and will make for a very close race between the camaro and the GXP. At that mph, you have to think 12's are pretty reasonable though for this car.

And how is this motor tuned for regular gas? Do they mean you can put in regular, or that regular is recommended? That seems hard to believe.
