The EB will kill the 2.0 camaro stock for stock. I'm not even going to debate that. The base EB weighs 3,530lbs, the camaro is not going to have a significant weight advantage over that

But as I said, I would give it to the V6 Camaro over the stock EB
My point of "throwing in" a car from 2001 is that, what a car can do modified vs stock is irrelevant. Modifying throws out the warranty and changes the car. Most people don't modify, but of the people who do, most will be the v8 crowd.

I don't doubt the EB is faster than the 2.0T will be, but not by much based off the ATS 2.0 VS EB. I have every reason to assume the Camaro 2.0T will be a tad faster than the ATS 2.0T

Fact remains, for performance, Camaro has a clear edge. Handling and acceleration, model for model. Last gen, handling could go either way but due to IRS the Camaro was a better handler in the real world. Mustang was definitely faster.
