LFX is not the average V6

2010 VS 2011 VS 2012 V6 power

i already know the 2010 has 305hp, the 2011 312hp, and the 2012 323hp, but what i'm wondering is how much of a difference is there when driving and how noticeable is it?

i am really curious how the 2010/2011 LLT compares to the 2012 LFX with the integrated exhaust manifolds and composite intake as well as it being an entirely different engine.

when i drove that 2012 v6 mustang, i was surprised how much less power it had than my 2012 camaro LS, despite them both being stick-shifts, and the mustang even having a very slightly higher axle ratio. (3.31 mustang, 3.27 camaro)

i also remembered that when car and driver compared the 2011 v6 mustang and 2010 camaro, the mustang was actually very slightly faster from 0-60 (by .1 sec).

so what i'm asking is, has anyone driven a 2010 camaro and then driven a 2012? if so, how much power difference have you noticed? same question goes for 2011 and then 2012 or even 2010 and then 2011, but i am the most curious about the 2010 then 2012 for comparison.

also, i understand that an isolator makes a big improvement in the 2010s and 2011s, due to the alloy intake and heat-soak. if there is a big power difference, like i suspect, i am almost positive the manifolds are to blame for the difference. (or most of it at least)
