My point was which car got the engine first.
Camaro got 350 sbc first.
Corvette got LT1 in 92, Camaro got it in 93
My understand is those were not factory options but aftermarket packages, so they don't count in this discussion.
Corvette still got the LS1 first
GMMG cars were aftermarket upgrades, not factory. Point still stands.
GTO is not a Camaro.
Corvette got LS3 in 2008. Camaro got LS3 in 2010.
Corvette got LS7 in 2006. Camaro got LS7 in 2014.
There was no Z/28 when ZL1 was in development but they still chose LSA over LS9.
Corvette got LT1 in 2014. Camaro will (may, we still don't know) get LT1 in 2016.
Corvette got LT4 in 2015. Camaro will (may, we still don't know) get LT4 (probably in detuned form) in 2-3 years.
My point still stands that Camaro engine performance was not driven by Mustang engine performance but GM wanting to upgrade the Corvette engine. You've done nothing to prove otherwise.
