I have to agree with that last statement. I think that Chevy will roll out this Camaro more like Ford rolled out the latest Mustang, with one V6 and one V8 model available, and it WON't be the top dog model like Dodge decided to do with the Challenger. I think within 6-months we'll see an SS model with some big ponies (more than the Dodge) to compete with other top end models.

Exactly. Don't compare this car to the Challenger. It's a lower production, higher priced and bloated niche car that is very likely to die an ugly death once the initial rush dies down.
Look instead to the Mustang. Base V6, mid range V8 and a top end V8. base, GT, Shelby. Base, Z28, SS. The Camaro has already been sighted with the direct injection LLT out of the new CTS. There's your base V6 right around 300hp. Peg a mid-range LS3 Z28 at 380-400hp, and then perhaps some new GenV engine or LSA/LS9 variant in the SS to go crush the GT500 and SRT8.
