Not disagreeing with you, but as one of the ealier post, and you yourself alude to: The Camaro was touted at being a 'sport' car, able to hang with the 350z for certain. Now I know why GM kept testing the V6 car... it's handeling appears to be better than the SS! Weight KILLS this car. As the test are showing, the SS does not even handle better than the 350..
On the track, it may hang with the 350 due to shear brute force, but it does not stand a chance against the 370 on the track (not strip....track). I will take a lightly modded and tuned Z over a full tuned SS. Honestly, I like the Stangs better than the Maro now....
Dudes... GM MAY have failed again with this Maro and may loose to the Stang yet AGAIN!

As was stated - yes, on the cam swap. And dont forget, some of us like to do our own work
. Its quite easy doing cam-swaps in LSX's - I did my own the first time with help from someone who did it before, and it was so simple.
And I dont disagree on the Z beating the new Camaro at all on the track - there is a reason I bought a new 370Z, versus getting the new Camaro - its too fat! WAY too fat. Ford is getting the new Mustang right. Its like, 400 lbs lighter, and if the new 5.0 comes out, it'll have power too. Pity it'll still be live axle, but oh well - what can you do. At least its living up to its heritage...
BTW, I think the weight numbers are off here - the 1SS weighed around 3900 lbs. Not 3780. Either way, I dont see the new Camaro as much of a "sports" car - more like a hybrid of a Muscle car, with a sports car rear end...
