I don't think 640Hp is not going to get it done with the new GT500 coming... what's scary is that, not a peep on the GT500, everyone is talking 350/350R and all cheering the recent new videos of ZL1/Z28/1LE on youtube, while silently that GT500 is under the radar... ford has an easy mission let the GT500 put up close to Z06 numbers, the Camaro will not dare touch those.... I hope I'm wrong, but the next 6 months are going to be very interesting.
I agree with everything you said. Ford pissed on the ZL1's parade in 2012 and Chevy has historically been predicable. Just assume the Camaro will get the Vette engine and beat that.

The gen5 Z/28 was a 100% effort and the gen6 so far has surprised everyone. I'm hoping Chevy will have more surprises and go all out with the 1LE, Z/28 and ZL1. Payback for 2012
