Performance number for the T4
Hey, I just noticed something while reading the perfomance figures released by GM. The turbo 4 has worse numbers then the v6 in every category. But if you realise the four cylinder was tested without the RS package it was on the 18 inch all season tires. My question is with the better rubber on the RS package wouldnt the 4 cylinder out brake and out corner the V6 since it is lighter? Did GM intentionally do that to not show the T4 is a better performer?
Lemme know what you guys think. I want to order one in the spring but still hesitant whether I go with the T4 or V6. |

There may be a small gain in better rubber but the extra weight of the 20's will probably negate it. The 18's on either engine is probably the faster option.
The turbo 4 should be slower in a bone stock configuration. It does offer a wider range of tuning options however. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The LT RS tire is also an all season.

Stock for stock, with same rubber, the V6 is going to be a tad faster than the t2.0, if not for the simple fact that it has a lot more top end power. From a drag I'm sure they are close, but as MPH climbs that V6 is going to pull away surely.
But with a tune, that 2.0 is going to be a fun machine and will easily put a stock V6 behind it....not that I don't think a modded V6 would be awesome either. It would be!

But overall. sure some fresh good rubber might help, but with the I4, I doubt the difference could be tangible unless you boosted the turbo itself.

Power to Weight Going from 275 hp to 335 hp (+22%) is going to influence performance a lot more than going from ~3435 lbs to ~3335 lbs (-3%)

I'm not sure why I'm so excited about a turbo 4 in a camaro. So far we know the ecoboost can reach 500/500 before the engine starts to let go so I hope the lil boosted Duke can do the same or even better.

The HP to weight ratio on a 350HP 3,450 pound V6 would be virtually the same as the 2015 SS automatic. That's something to think about.

V6 = 10.25 V8 = 8.28 Lower = better. That said, there are some benefits where adding lightness adds a fairly decent benefit over just looking at the ratio, especially when considering just where that power comes on, and the driving dynamics one is looking for. --kC |
