2015 ATS coupe Motor Trend review
This thing weighed in at 3,463 pounds in premium trim and a 6 speed manual.. Very promising if in fact Camaro is based off of it. So excited. Wheeeeeeeeeee

Why is there no 7 speed manual transmission?

Probably b/c the 7spd manual is made only for the LT1 currently. Would be surprised if even the V6 6th Gen gets a 7spd manual. Most likely will keep the 6spd and the SS will get a 7spd.

I wouldn't be surprised if the SS has a 6 speed as well.. We'll see.

I have a hard time spending $40k on a 4-banger, even if it is turbo-charged.

lol. I didn't think twice about the price. That's the going rate for an entry level luxury sport sedan, and the coupes are even pricier due to being produced in smaller numbers. Fully loaded midsized non luxury cars cost nearly $40k anymore.

The obvious weight increase for the v6/v8 engine, should put us in the wheelhouse of actual weight.. I'm a little more pumped about just how fast the 6 gen can be!#

Good comparison. That tells me if the 2.0T is the base engine for the Camaro, we are looking at some good numbers for the V6 and SS. Man the V6 Mustang crowd is going to be hating life especially.
