Comparing the manual in both cars. As far as the look of the car well we all know that the Camaro takes the cake by 1000x. As far as speed lets do some chatting....
Lets get these numbers straight:
-Weight of both cars
-Stock wheel horsepower and torque on a dynojet dyno
From what I've seen the Camaro LS3s are between 355-375whp, and the GTO LS2s are about 340-350whp. Let me know if those numbers are right or not.
The GTOs are definetly lighter, but I'm sure not by much...discuss that as well. As far as the transmissions go, the TR-6060 is way better as well.
But if the GTOs are a bit lighter and put down a bit less whp, then the new camaro really isn't that much better stock vs stock.....

The GTO does have better overall gearing too, don't forget that. At the track, they seem about equal from what has been posted.
