So, GM, now that you have the Challenger Hellcat and GT350 to benchmark, I expect the uber-performance oriented 6th-gen Camaro to come out and kick both their asses. Very, very hard.

You have the ability, so dammit, you better build a world beater.

Z/28 has the GT350 beat on track I'm pretty sure. Something that splits the diff between track and street is yet to be seen however. The 1LE would need a big power bump.

Difficult to compare a pony car with a muscle car, that's for sure.

Nope, because I'm thoroughly interested in that flat-plane crank V8 under the hood.

The car around it? Not so much.

With their recent track record, it has been: AWESOME RELEASE, recall, AWESOME RELEASE, recall, repeat with a little bit of meh in between. They could knock it out of the park, but then they could drop the ball. Like say, TELL US OF A KICKASS ENGINE BEFORE THE OTHER ENGINES, AND THEN NOT RELEASE IT UNTIL ANOTHER MODEL YEAR. (Colorado)

I wouldn't be so sure on the track part, there will be a bit of a weight difference I would almost bet. I think Ford did their research.

I have a feeling the US government's emissions regulations can be blamed for that delay.

I don't think they would confirm an engine before it has even passed through the Freedom measurers. Maybe they are testing quality, before they release it. (LB7 Duramax, and the $1000 injector recall)

Maybe, but it's been in service overseas for a while from my understanding.

I really dont see it being too difficult. 5th gen 1LE is faster than the 15 Track pack GT. The Z/28 seems to be in a different league than the GT350. I'd put the ZL1 up against it. 6th gens will be monsters for sure. More power, less weight than the current car. Should be interesting.

Emissions equipment will be different, along with the tuning. Those would have to be tested out. Emissions equipment might not seem huge, but it can fuck a lot of shit up.

The z/28 has tires that are in another league compared to the weaksauce Michelin PSS on the GT350. With similar tires, it may get close, but even then the suspension is outclassed by the Z/28s.

Power/weight is a hell of a drug.
