[Number 3]

I would say go look at the ATS times for a RWD only car as the benchmark. The 8 speed auto will make a bit of a difference, but not sure it gets us a 4.9 second car.

That being said, my Audi S4 (333 HP but also 330 lb ft of torque and AWD) was a 4.9 second car and it weighed more than the Camaro will. But the torque and AWD made that car awesome to drive. I think the new V6 will still be way down on torque compared to the 3.0 SC Audi.

The HP is good, but the peak TQ doesn't hit till 5,300 rpm.

The peak torque RPMs mean very little when you've got a big flat plateau spanning a few thousand revs. The current LFX makes within 90% of its peak torque from around 2200 rpm through to 6800. I'm sure the new LGX will be more of the same, and probably slightly flatter and/or wider.

Yes, Al O. said that the T4 would be well below 6 seconds to 60, and that our friends in Dearborn are going to be very surprised.

Well, it looks like I was overly pessimistic on the 0-60 times and optimistic on the lateral Gs. My hats off to GM, they definitely delivered more than I expected.

Welp....I was wrong

I'm okay with being wrong on this :-)

I'll go with 5.5-5.6 for the 2.0 Camaro to 60.

5.2-5.3 for 3.6.

I think 2.0:

1/4 mile: 13.9 - 14.1

I think V6:
0 - 60: 5.3 - 5.5 (hopefully low side of that)
1/4 mile: 13.4 - 13.7

Weight loss, good top end power, and 8 speed should make a nice difference in the quarter. The open diff hurts the A8 though which sucks. But if the V6 can pull off a mid 13 second 1/4 mile, that's just a bit shy of a full second better than the 5th gen. That's pretty good in my book.

You two pretty much nailed it!

Thought it was time to resurrect this thread. I didn't do too bad compared to MT's numbers.


I was a bit optimistic on the 1/4th mile time and pessimistic on the 0-60, but I nailed the lateral Gs . How did everyone else do?

Not bad at all!

Compared to the MT numbers, mine were pretty much spot on as well:

My prediction from earlier:
I think V6:
0 - 60: 5.3 - 5.5 (hopefully low side of that)
1/4 mile: 13.4 - 13.7

But their 1/4 mile time was 13.8. Based on that MPH, I really feel there is another couple tenths for sure in that 1/4 mile time. It sucks that we likely won't see very many V6 owners take their completely stock V6 to the 1/4 mile track very often, so there won't be many chances to beat that time. But I think a mid 13 is doable stock.
