I think you're going to get a surprise.
Let's see:

- nearly as much peak torque available from 3000 RPM* earlier and

- 300+ lb weight advantage?

No surprise here.

* 2015 ATS coupe offers 295 lb-ft starting from 3000 RPM, not 260 ft-lb from 1700 RPM, even so...

That was rough guess based on the ATS coupe's weight, I hope a 6th gen Camaro with the turbo four isn't even that heavy, but I can't imagine it'd be more than 3450.
