The V6 Camaros get 312hp
The LS4 in the 06-07 Montes got 303hp IIRC
I don't recall there being a 454 offered in 70 in the Monte. i could be wrong though.
I believe Panther was one of the names floated around for the Camaro, but I don't recall there being a specific reason. It probably had more to do with the fact that at the time all Chevy models started with a "C." The Monte was the first to break this trend. The Impala and Nova were associated with another name (Nova was also called Chevy II, I can't remember the Impala).
Engines over a certain size were never illegal. Engine choices for some models were only restricted by the engine size limits instituted by the racing series those cars were designed to race in (this is why the first gen Z28 only had a 302 small block, in 70, rules were changed that allowed 350s and the Z went to the LT1 that year)
The 05-09 Mustang GTs did only get around 300hp. This also extended into the 2010 model year too. There was very little power increase from Ford until the Camaro came back out.

OK, now I'm curious, I need to know sources for the answers to the following questions:
12. The Orignal name for the Camaro was going to be Panther. But GM was told to dial the aggression back.
13. Chevrolet named Camaro saying it meant companion or friend.
I only say that because I've never seen mention of the Camaro being called the Panther, so I want to know what other back history there is.
Also, Camaro translating to "companion or friend", what language? I've heard it but never was able to find support to the claim.
I just want to expand on my knowledge of the Camaro subject

and it was translated from the french language. but GM ment for it to mean companion or friend, but turns out its street slang in france for shriveled shrimp

The LS4 in the 06-07 Montes got 303hp IIRC

The word Camaro is said to have come from an old French word meaning friend. It's possible that the old french word turned into the French word "camarade" later on, but I can't verify that. There's a lot of interest in the meaning to the word "Camaro" but ultimately, I think Chevrolet chose it simply because it sounded good.
Here's a link that gives a very brief history to the name Camaro: What does camaro mean
