the camero engine is a budget special compared to the german monster it's most probally one of the best super car engines out there today!

I don't know if I'd quite call it a budget engine in comparison. The Merc makes somewhere around 500 bhp (in AMG form) and the LS3 can easily get there with a few tweaks.
I'm not saying the AMG engine isn't fantastic, I'm just saying don't sell the LS3 short.
and how do you figure an engine is good for 217 mph? the engine only goes as fast as the car it's sitting in. and the merc only does 180ish
I don't know how accurate these dyno sheets are... but there's lots of cars on these very boards that dwarf these numbers

I know, dyno numbers aren't the be all end all. but it's a good way to stack engines up against eachother anyway
