Yea I don't think since the SS is the top of the line for Camaro it's right to compare with R/T,but it's still gonna beat a stock model SRT becuase of the lighter(300+ lbs) weight and also the more aggresive gearing.1 horse power wouldn't be the deciding factor it's the 3.45 or 3.47 (I forget which) vs. 3.06.I wonder if they're (GM) gonna limit the top end.
