thanks for the correction in my termanology. its been a long day. lol. and i dont think we'll get the whp numbers until were darn close to being able to buy the car, or somebody gets it and tests it. we'll just have to wait. for an example, my cousins 74 Nova blown 327, 110 octane fuel, gets 400 whp.

Having IRS all around, the base SS Camaro around a twisty/curvy track should be able to keep up with the base GT500 mustang. In a straight line, that is another story.

I think that 500 is going to charge really hard down the straights. I'm not sure SS would be able to keep up but I'm hoping so

we don't know what sort of numbers the Camaro will put to the wheels. The Corvette has a very efficient driveline so losses are in the 10%-13% range. We shouldn't expect the Camaro to do as well as the Corvette, nice if it does though.correct.

The GT500 also costs $15k-20k more than what the SS will

Let's cut him some slack.
He didn't quote misinformation about dyno' numbers as he referenced the 'Vette. Also, 'Father has said pricing will be close to Mustang and maybe a touch higher, so he's not far off there either. Please, let's not forget SS makes 422 bhp, not at the tire, as you pointed out. He's new so give him some time to catch up. Thanks

I don't see high-$20Ks out of the question yet, but this car is going to carry a premium over Mustang, Lutz has already said that. How much? Noone knows for sure yet - 'Father's hinted at not a whole lot but things can change. I believe we're getting confirmation around the beginning of the year.

What scares me, is that a lot of the standard equipment (I think, and correct me if I'm wrong) that is coming on the SS, like the upgraded FE3 suspension, Brembo brakes, better wheels and tires, are similar features that are available on the SS, are not available on the Mustang, or Challenger mid level segment vehicles (GT & R/T). Those types of features come in their top level vehicles the GT500 priced @42k, and the SRT-8 priced @41k. And the SS power wise comes really close to the two.
So GM stating that the Camaro will be "competitively priced" could mean alot of things. And seeing that the GTO, which I see a lot of things with the Camaro that parallel to it, wasn't even priced under 30k... Just scares me I guess. But I'm just going to remain hopeful until official pricing gets released like everyone else here is.
