The V6 outsells the T4, why drop it? Too much turbo lag in the 2.0 unless you modify it. The six stays. Let the kids play with their hair dryers.

There's no comparison the V6 is better down low. But keep it spinning faster...that little engine was a hoot on the back roads. It kept pulling up where the V6 lost steam. I was surprised.

Sounds like Japanese engines from 20 years ago. Some of those little 4 cylinders could really pull and scream in the 4000-7000 RPM range. Takes a little different driving style to get used to. Keep the revs up and hold the gears longer. Sounds like the T4 Camaro would really benefit from short gear ratios through all 6 gears.

Yep. it's only 3300-some lbs; that's less than the Corvette...with the right setup, that car could be a freaking blast on track. Especially considering it seems to respond so well to tuner-style mods.

A V6 stick quells all concerns.

I like that, too!

I was just saying, the turbo 4 model is no turd...I would very happily purchase an M6 convertible Turbo 4 Camaro. A LOT of fun, I had in that combo.
