The Camaro is relying on an advanced suspension, differential (and associated traction software), and brakes and so it gets a carry over engine from the CTS-V. Whereas, the GT500 is relying on it's lifespan (for gradual suspension tweaks) and a more expensive engine.
Just another case of different strokes for different folks it seems. We'll have to wait and see more details, but I'm damn sure excited to see how the two cars match up. I would like to tell myself I'm going to save my money, but I have a feeling whichever one is executed better will be in my garage come mid-2012.
