As for the thread, I wouldn't own a Camaro that is not a V8, but I can appreciate the power and engineering that would go into a theoretical 600hp V6 Turbo Camaro.
Yep your right...4th gen SS will definitely outgun a current V6. doesn't help that the newer V6 is much heavier, and also has a less aggressive gearing ratio.

I think the next gen Camaro V6, with less weight, hopefully a performance pack option with a lower gear ratio, and a bit more HP will bring the two a bit closer together.

But the car still won't be as light as a 4th gen...otherwise I'd say it would be a pretty close race, with the torque advantage going to the LS1.
