The comparison to a Corvette would come from Holden HSV.



The HSV E3 GTS has MRC and other performance enhancements.



The other significant factor is the Caprice is built on the VE chassis or ZETA. The Camaro is built on ZETA II and the new SS will arrive on the VF chassis or ZETA III. I could be wrong, but I am expecting a ZL1 like SS.

We did a few modifications to a G8 and out ran a Z06 and a few other 'performance cars at VIR almost four years ago. VIR was perfect for the Pedders USA G8 as a high speed track. At a tighter technical track in Michigan (Gingerman) we struggled to keep up with a C6 GS.

Mark has spent time in AU with Holden. He knows exactly what a VE and VF chassis are capable of.

I'm talking about the Chevy SS sedan not Camaro SS
