ALSO: the LFX in the SRX will be rated at 308hp and 265 tq. at only 2400 rpms. That is half again the rpms the Camaro's tq. rating is, 278tq at 4800rpms. The SRX should feel fairly srtong off the line.

The LLT in the Camaro makes roughly 265 ft-lbs at 2400 rpm also. It just makes a bit more higher up. I would expect the LFX to be much the same.
You have to be careful when looking at the peak rpms for torque. Every now and then they can cause one to think an engine is stronger down low, when in reality its just weaker up top. The torque band is at least as important (if not more so) as when it hits its peak.
