The 5.0L is actually 435hp this year....which puts it at 87hp/L

Yeah, i dropped it to 420 to be nice since the torque is only around 400, while the camaro numbers claim 455. It's better to average the HP and Torque numbers to get a true idea of the cars power. Much like the 2010 v8 versus the 2011 v6 mustangs. They are similar hp ratings, but the torque of the V8 gets the win usually.

In keeping with tradition....

but seriously, I'm not a hater.
After postiing, I discovered that the creator of this pic doesn't know how to spell "until".

Numbers are right, that's the engine in the Vette now with similar output. Torque is higher but gearing is also higher (same rear gearing but manual is geared higher). I think the Auto is geared a little lower but still not as low so the torque difference isn't as big of a deal as you might think other than the LT1 will produce more low end torque making it easier to get off the line. Weight we will see, seems like it is a little low. Overall a manual will be quicker most likely, but not by that much. The auto will add a little to the gap as well. But, realistically, there were faster cars out when the S550 released for more money, people buy cars for the whole package. At the point the current ones are at is pretty ridiculous for most of the people buying them. The difference is just bragging rights to most people driving them.

The magazines say that the Camaro is better around the track the traditions in and out of the corners are smoother with much less body roll.
