Yeah, when it really comes down to it, 430hp is pretty unbelievable. AND its easy to forget that the accompanying torque is MUCH higher than many competing cars... Mustang GT = 320lbft, 2009 BMW M3 = 295lbft, etc. I think this will make the Camaro FEEL even faster than maybe the numbers would indicate. Big torque down low will do a lot... big horsepower only lets you get to a higher top speed.

Either way, pretty soon we'll all be celebratin'
