The Camaro has Huge rotors and better calipers(in the rear) then the Boss, Yes I know most stopping is in front but for balance the extra uummph the Camaro has in rear is probably alot to do with it.

As far as MT I think this gentleman being an owner of a 2005 Lotus Elise couldn't have said it better. Nice read!

Here's the article:
The ZL1?s mods performed by Redline Motorsports include a larger ATI drive pulley and a smaller LPE supercharger pulley to increase boost as well as a ported blower snout. The stock LSA camshaft which has 198/216-degrees of duration and .492/.480-inches of lift was tossed in favor of a custom camshaft ground by Comp Cams which has 231/248 degrees of duration @ 50. The custom cam was mated to 7.400-inch long pushrods and Redline's double valvesprings with titanium retainers. The stock exhaust manifolds were replaced with American Racing's long tube headers with 1 7/8-inch primaries. Behind the headers, Redline installed an X-pipe and high-flow cats while keeping the balance of the exhaust stock. The ZL1 was also treated to a cold air intake, larger heat exchanger, a set of Injector Dynamics 98 lb/hr (at 68psi) injectors and NGK TR6 spark plugs. The car still maintains its stock 1.9 L blower, stock block and stock heads. To get the ZL1 out of the hole, it was fitted with a high stall torque converter and Mickey Thompson drag radials.
The above mods have turned this 2012 Camaro ZL1 into a terror that traps over 137 mph and is currently running basement 10 second ETs in the 1/4 mile. Enjoy the video below ...
She's not even close to stock

These guys are doing a lot of work to get into the 10's where I have a feeling the 2013 GT500 would just do that with drag slicks and a good driver.
