Pretty similar in weight vs 2SS. Wonder what the rear end gearing is since it has just 21mpg highway without AFM.

I'm going with the Camaro.

The Chevy SS comes standard with LS3 with A6 6l80 trans and weighs around 4000 lbs. There haven't been any recent hands on reviews with the SS as of yet. It's rated at 415 hp/tq and 0-60 < 5sec.

I've got one on order and should get it around the 1st of the year.
I thought the LS3 was the manual and the L99 was the automatic? Is it different on the Chevy SS as opposed to the Camaro SS?

L99 has active fuel management, the LS3 does not. Engine type does not depend on the transmission, both engines can be attached to any gearbox GM wants attached to it.

On the Camaro GM decided to go with a differing engine on the SS between Auto and Manual, presumably because the manual brings with it the idea of more performance so it gets the more powerful engine albeit at a lesser MPG rating.

With the Chevy SS they mated the LS3 with a 6L80 auto trans. Best of both worlds. The SS is not available in manual trans at this point in time, only auto. There is a GG Tax of $1300 that goes with the car. The LS3 they are using, is rated at 415hp/415tq. They are being dynoed at 360rwhp/368rwtq ... I kinda think they under rated the power by 20-25 hp/tq.
