I was just looking at the CTS-V specs. Oddly enough it is only offered in a 6 speed and rated at 400hp, 5hp less then the Z06. Reminds me of the highest optioned Camaros being rated at 345hp which is also 5hp less then the comparable vette.

I guess it's a crap shoot but my guess is the LS2 will dyno better .. Plus it will more than likely have more performance to unlock considering it's base is 400hp .. where the LS6's base was the LS1 ... 300hp (350hp if you want to go with the vette's #'s) ... again according to GM
EDIT: That's some sweet news about the GTO ... Hopefully it will still be somewhat affordable after that too.
