I would love if GM released a Camaro with 520 WHP. Our latest inside scoop is that the Top of the Line Camaro will come out in 2011 and have the CTS-V's version of the 6.2L supercharged V8. That version makes 550 BHP which would convert to about 450WHP. (Give or take 10hp)

With ever tightening EPA concerns and GM needing a profitable car many are speculating that it and many other sports cars will see a very drastic down-sizing of engines. For example, by 2012 the Mustang will have a small turbo 6cyl that makes 300bhp.

Not that the new Camaro wont get a high powered option, but it just may not be as high-powered as one hopes or it may only be an option for a few years.

The new Camaro will come is 3 versions. Base/LT with a V6(approx. 280-300bhp). SS with a V8(maybe the 6.2L LS3 with 350-420bhp ) and the Z28 which may have the 6.2L Supercharged V8 with 500-540bhp. I heard that they would not relese a Z28 with more power then the CTS-V's 550bhp.

The Camaro vs Challenger should be very equal. I would base the decesion on which you like the look of and if you want a Famous 426 HEMI .
