The HSV R8 Clubsport version in Oz gets 317Kw or 425 hp from the LS3 but that seems mainly due to tubular headers. The G8 GXP will get the same power auto or manual because there is no cylinder deactivation like the auto Camaro is to get. Manual Camaro will basically have this same motor, so should get similar (415hp) power ratings depending on final tune and equipment.
Camaro SS manual will have 422hp. To drop down hp to the 415 would be horrible. Camaro's exhaust tuning will be MUCH different then the Holden units.

No. But Bluetooth will be standard I belive.
