I doubt there would be much improvement. I'm sure that it was run with the same engine, transmission, and suspension as we are getting. Since then there may have been tweaks, but they wouldn't have changed out major components like that. For reference, the 550 hp CTS V did it in 7:59. The Camaro will not get close to an 8 flat, despite the lower weight and better balance. A 8:15 might be possible but don't expect much more than that.
