CTS = (according to C&D)

1st: 4.15 17.22
2nd:2.33 9.67
3rd:1.53 6.35
4th:1.15 4.77
5th:1.00 4.15
6th:0.79 2.04

Final drive:4.15 (wow that's deep)

Camaro LS/LT: (according to chevrolet.com/camaro)

1st:4.48 14.65
2nd:2.58 8.44
3rd:1.63 5.33
4th:1.19 3.89
5th:1.00 3.27
6th:0.75 2.45

Final Drive:3.27

Here's a little comparison I put together. Looks like the CTS has deeper overall gearing except for top gear. The weight factor is hard for me to guesstimate, but it looks like the two cars will be pretty close in 0-60 and 14 mile times.

Edit: The second number is overall ratio from flywheel to rear axle, I computed it for everyone's benefit using MS calculator, yay!
