Now the ats non turbo get down to about 3400lbs flat but with the turbo and other parts there's no way the camaro will weigh much less than an ecoboost stang. That means the v6 will weigh slightly more while making less torque. So unless the trans makes up for lack.of power I don't see a t4 or v6 6th gen beating a ecoboost by much if any at all.
For the ones that think quarter mile times are pointles because its not a " v8" I say stop being closed minded. People still want to enjoy the car but maybe don't want the added fuel cost or money spent to buy the bigger engine. Why hate?
I'm sure the turbo camaro will respond to mods just fine and be close to the ecoboost mod for mod even though its startong with a lower number. Simply up the boost.

I'm going to assume your reference was to me, so let me be clear here. I never said performance statistics were pointless for cars that do not have a V8. My point was, unless you sink a ton of money into aftermarket parts, achieving the same level of performance as a V8 car with the smaller engines is not realistic. I owned a t4 Mustang back when t4 cars were not cool (SVO), and a couple of t4 Mopars (GLHS, Shelby Charger) so there is no hate on my part.
