Heck, they could make the Turbo 4 with 295HP and 300+ and just offer both engines at the same price....just pick what you want. I don't see that happening, but again I wouldn't have any problems with it. The Ecoboost has more power, and considerably more torque than the Mustang V6, but in reality its barely faster. In fact, the V6 has tested with a higher 1/4 mile speed, but the Ecoboost wins in ET due to its low end grunt. In stock form..the Ecoboost runs out of steam on the top end compared to these V6s.

I expect the LGX to be in the 31 - 33 MPG highway range. I don't see why it wouldn't. Yes, the 8 speed may only get it another 1 MPG, but we also have less weight, and last but not least....cylinder deactivation if you are just cruising. I fully expect the stock Camaro V6 to out perform the Ecoboost Mustang everywhere...0 - 60, 1/4 mile, and on the track. The extra horsepower over the LFX, and the lighter weight will help, but that 8 speed will likely help the most. Hell, I'm fairly certain the V6 Dodge Charger gained an entire second in the 0 - 60 when it went to the 8 speed automatic. (but it might've had a 5 speed before???). I don't expect a whole second from just the 8 speed, but I expect 10ths forsure in 0 - 60. Now...as I've said before. Tune the Ecoboost, and its all over for the V6 Camaro.

ATS 2.0 T is 30 MPG Malibu 2.0 T is 30 MPG Camaro 3.6 L is ????? Seriously to continue to think that simply being an AWESOME Camaro results in physics defying performance is beyond hopeful. Sorry but 2 mpg doesn't come from sunshine and rainbows. We are talking about the same architecture that today gives 28 mpg with a V6 and 30 with a 2.0 T and everyone is thinking because it is a Camaro that these numbers go up by 25%???????? The 8 speed should get 1 to 2 mpg AFM should get another 1 mpg Start/Stop only affects city driving, not highway. Go figure.

Camaro should pull in 31 for the EPA rating on the highway cycle. I could see it doing better than that in the real world though.

<~~~~~ would rather have the TT 3.0L in my 6th Gen Camaro, considering the posted HP/TQ of the New 3.6L LGX V-6 is sadly negligible compared to the 5th Gen ...

It's a nice progression and best in class V6 on regular octane fuel.

I am amazed at the quantities of drugs and/or alcohol APPARENTLY consumed by members of this forum. I swear ppl pull #s straight out their ass. There is a big difference between OPTIMISM and DELUSION.

I get less than 10 mpg in my 79 z/28. No, it's not "stock" but it is "matching numbers". Double digit FE is good!!

No one accused you of being crazy.................just infinitely hopeful. And that's not a bad thing.
