8:06.. i will bet the S/C motors HP will not rated as high as the CTS-V.. I'm betting the '12 Z/28 will be rated at 505HP, just wait..

No way the Chevy Camaro will get as high a HP rating like the CTS-V..and if it really is 4,000lbs, WoW.. needs a diet already

On topic: 8 flat. CTSV and Camaro are about equal in mass and with the latter having it's tweaks based on the former...

It will easily be faster then 12 parsecs

any by the way,

12 Parsecs = 2.30082338 × 1014 miles

If the Z28 were moving at at the speed of light, it would take is 3.26 years to travel 1 parsec.

with that theory, about the power output, why does the base V-6 camaro get a higher output then the base CTS? they are aimed at different segments. luxury performance versus just basic performance. EVEN if they rate the camaro lower I will be willing to bet it will be about the same as the CTS-V's power out put.

look at the 4th gens. corvette was rated higher but in reality they were a lot closer then GM officially announced.

4,000 lbs. why is everyone caught up on this weight thing? doesn't the CTS-V show how well it handles weighting more? not saying a lighter camaro isn't better. but such negativity isn't justified.

8:02. Just can't imagine it going faster around than the V.

[iPODFAN11]

7:51 is my guess.

Curious. The Sport Auto test was used for the ZR1? Same for the ZO6? I believe GM themselves did a 7:26:4 and all they added to the stock car was saftey gear. And the ZO6 did a 7:42.99.

[ctk1]

7:56.23

[bubba4]

7:54...

[lafountain]

7:54 right in the middle of the Vette and the Caddy.

[KarFan]

7:55.5

[Russell James]

8.07

Hope it's a couple ticks faster than the V. But for betting purposes, just throwing an unused number out there. The good times have already been picked.

I think you might be missing my point. IMO neither I, nor Ford from what I can see, underestimates GM....I fully expect an A game effort for the Z/28. That said, the last few years have given me the distinct impression that GM has not being according Ford the same 'respect'. Put simply I think GM has actually been underestimating Ford's high performance efforts of late and, if they do the same with the GT500, they may pay for it dearly.
