The numbers from a mustang dyno aren't even comparable to another mustang dyno.

They are the better choice when it comes to real world type tuning, but when comparing hp figures, it just doesn't work.
Except that of the dozen plus C6 Z's dynoed there to include the owners very own Z06 they typically come in right around 450 RWHP. I know, he must have re-calibrated the dyno that day for my benefit to give me an extra 15 hp. Damn I forgot to thank him for putting his reputation on the line like that.

Here's a thought. I was looking through an older Motor Trend yesterday and they had times for the 2007 CTS-V. 4015lbs. (with driver), 400 hp, 3.73 gear, and a 6 speed manual. 0-60mph in 5.0 and 1/4 mile in 13.4. Does that not sound like what we can expect for the Camaro SS? Roughly the same weight, same hp, probably same tranny, slower gear 3.42 or 3.45 (I forget which). So isn't it safe to assume that the SS Camaro will be neck and neck with the CTS-V (2007) ?

I know that there have been CTS-Vs recorded running low 13s - high 12s and trapping 110+. I'd say that's close. Camaro might have a slight advantage with 20 HP more.
