v6 300 hp
z28 402 hp ctsv engine
ss 460 hp just like the sc cadillac sts
All i can find for the CTS is the 302hp V6 and the CTS-V gets the LSA ~550hp
Yes the LSA would put the Camaro HP/Tq #s in the Corvette range. Based on body Suspension differences it wouldn't be a performace hit for the Vette.
In addition, it wouldn't be the 1st or 3rd time a Camaro has had power #s in line with Vettes. Remember in '09 the Vette (ZR1) gets the LS9 with 638hp.

I'd figure $21k for the T4 as the 210hp Mustang is ~20
$27k for the V6 ('08 CTS with DI-V6 304hp +Lux&Perf pkg ~$41k)
$32k for the V8
$38 for the S/C V8 (GT500KR low $40ks)

also,
Can anyone find any docs on the '09 Solstice with a 300hp T4?
according to the 03/08 R&T the '09 GXP still shows a 260hp 2L T4
