Is I4 turbo fun enough?
Since I can't find a 2018 V6 with the options / color that I want (and in my budget), but I do find some I4 versions, I might go this way if the car is fun enough in comparison.
Fun for me means excellent handling in corners, uphill / downhill, instant acceleration from a stoplight to another (because I will daily drive to / from work and I don't want it to be boring). Is the car comparably quick enough to a V6? Thanks! |

J'ai lu beaucoup sur le forum ici que les gens mettent presque sur un pied d'égalité le V6 et le I4.
Le I4 te donne plus de puissance à bas régime car le turbo embarque vers 3000rpm. Je l'ai personnellement conduis 2-3 fois et en comparant avec mon Tiburon 2008 4cyl 130HP, je peux te dire que c'est vraiment plus qu'en masse! Les gens disent par contre que le son du V6 est vraiment mieux. À toi de voir. Perso, je suis bien satisfait du I4 et c'est ce que j'ai commandé! Tu peux m'envoyer un PM si jamais tu as des questions au sujet du prix de ton auto. J'ai commandé cette semaine donc je peux déjà te donner une idée de ce que tu peux avoir. Je suis allé chez Grenier Chevrolet. Super service et je te recommande fortement d'y aller. Si jamais tu décides d'aller faire un tour, demande à voir Nicolas. Bonne chance.

Lol, sorry, I said that many threads here are saying that the I4 is close the V6. Low end power and torque while the V6 is better at higher rpm. And compared to my Hyundai Tiburon, the Camaro I4 is plenty enough!
And I referred him to a local dealer, the one I ordered mine from.

Basic bolt-ons that don't require a tune will make the car feel much better. Your not gonna get more power without the tune but your powerband will be better and be able to hit max stock power easier.

Oh, I am asking as a stock, I don't want to modify it. At least not for several years.

No. Sorry bud, it's not that simple. Trust me, I not only understand the "game", Im directly involved. Clearing diagnostic Trouble Codes has no bearing on PCM write counts. If it was that simple, don't you think everyone would buy a ZZP tune right out of the gate? I know I sure as heck would lol.

What I am saying is if you cleared trouble codes and all history codes “to see what the issue was” they are not about to fight you or check if it was tuned for a blown ring or piston.. there have been way too many issues with the ltg motors.. they could check for rewrite history but they won’t 99% of the time. I’ll take those odds. Re tune back to stock clear codes bring to dealer... they are not checking rewrite history they’ll fix issue flash update and you’re back in the road.. not here to argue at all brother. Could they read history yes, will they most likely not if you don’t walk in with an intake downpipe and tune installed. I also don’t think your blowing anything up with a canned tune as long as you’re doing all your maintenance properly.. I have a big issue with any manufacturer saying change your oil for anything more than 5k miles on synthetic I feel I push it at 4K intervals which is half of the recommendation by cadillac. I followed their 45k service for trans and once I saw the fluid I had the transfer case and diffs done immediately. I am doing the trans services at 30k next time based off of how dirty that fluid was.

Good Morning. I was in the same boat my Friend. Debating and test driving the turbo 4 camaros, V6 even the SS. But let me tell you, GM did it right for specs, handling and price. I had a supercharged 07 cobalt ss and traded it in for a turbocharged camaro and haven't looked back for as lil as $21k. I didn't like the gas guzzling v6, and couldn't afford the SS. Plus insurance on them things, sheesh. Good luck. And my wife an insurance agent. But you can't beat these new muscle car turbos. Mustangs are doing it right. They honestly just dropped their V6 trim this year to focus more on the turbo Mustang since its...literally lighter, faster and better on gas. My wittle ol' 2017 50th Anniversary Camaro 4 Banger turbo is 0 to 60 in 5.4 seconds. And does a quarter mile in 14 flat. That's incredibly fast for today's spectations coming from a 2 Liter engine. You couldn't get those numbers unless you threw a huge V8 underneath the hood or a Big V6 with a decent sized turbo back in the day. And dont get me started with daily driving them gas hogs. Maybe get 13mpg on average....MAYBE. While my turbo4 averages 28mpg. It's crazy today with engineering, electronic's and practicality in Fuel economy. Let me just tell you the Turbocharged Camaro wont dissapoint. Handling is more then impressive. Drives like a Cadillac. Literally. This camaro shares the same chasis as in the cadillac ats platform. Wow. Now that's the camaro shedding some serious heavy unnecessary weight meaning....faster. And with a couple bolt-on's and a tune, the V6 will be seeing nothing but your tail lights in your dust and quite possibly even the V8 SS. It's fast, let me tell you. Its Corvette fast. That's Subaru WRX. Its Dodge Challenger Fast. If you want to talk about numbers. What this lil 2 Liter Turbo can do and is pushing is more then impressive. To reach those track/speed numbers not that far...far...long ago. In early 90's you would need a 4.3L V6 w/ a turbo like in the GMC Syclone (SportTruck)to just reach a tie in a quarter mile or 0to60. Or even a V8 small block in the early 90s corvettes, that's right, a Corvette, to beat the turbo camaro. Therefore, i saw the 2.0t and fell in love with the specs, weight, exterior,interior,gas mpg and handling. Interior wise you get all great things the V6 RS owners get and even SS Camaro owners. Such as a standard touch screen, backup camera, great seats, same exterior cuts, cosmetically all trims are identical inside and out except for ss and zl1. I Always did love the spool/whoosh sound coming from a turbo too esspecially after a cold air intake bolt on installed with a little increase in Performance/Sound. I've owned my for a few months now and get 28mpg average. Pushing almost 300hp and God knows what with the torque involved(possibly high 350) with a couple bolt-ons and a zzp tune. This lil camaro is scary light/quick. I wouldn't be surprised if GM did same as Ford and drop the V6 all together to focus more on the quick, fuel sipping turbos 4 camaros.
