I think its a misprint and is 335.

Being that they stated it would be increased, maybe it's underrated so as to not steal SS sales.

The data you obtained has the incorrect weight. That's the 2.0T weight.

It’s incorrect. What was discussed in the thread you posted was a video of a dealership employee rattling off specs on the 2019s and getting his numbers wrong. Everyone else that chimes into that thread indicated as much.

Motor Trend on the 2019s

The rear-drive 2019 Camaro’s base engine is a 2.0-liter turbo-four that makes 275 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. The four-cylinder Camaro is available with a standard six-speed manual delivering an EPA-rated 20/30 mpg city/highway or an optional eight-speed automatic (22/31 mpg). The available 3.6-liter V-6 (availability begins on the 1LT trim) is rated at 335 hp and 284 lb-ft and delivers 16/27 mpg with the six-speed manual and 19/29 mpg with the eight-speed automatic. Powering the SS is a 455-hp, 455-lb-ft 6.2-liter V-8 that is rated at 16/24 mpg with the six-speed manual and 16/27 mpg with the 10-speed automatic. A supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 that pumps out 650 hp and 650 lb-ft powers the Camaro ZL1 and is rated at 14/20 mpg with the six-speed manual and 13/21 mpg with the 10-speed.

Car and Driver on the 2019s

Every Camaro SS features Chevy's iconic small-block V-8, with 455 horsepower and 455 lb-ft of torque. Its linear power delivery and chest-compressing acceleration are enhanced by the optional dual-mode exhaust, which erupts with a sharp bark at startup and thunderous sounds during wide-open-throttle blasts. The standard six-speed manual transmission maintains the enthusiast spirit, and the two automatic transmissions snap off swift shifts. The base 275-hp four-cylinder isn't slow—we tested a manual model that made it to 60 mph in an earnest 5.1 seconds. But uneven throttle responses and unpleasant, unsporting sounds accompanied its dull demeanor. On the other hand, upgrading to the 335-hp naturally aspirated V-6 completely changes the car's character. The gutsy V-6 has its own distinctly searing soundtrack and redeems generations of ho-hum six-cylinders.

It's pretty pathetic that after 10 years the Subaru STI a $40,000 base (305hp) is getting out worked by a LT trim Camaro!
You know throw a 1LE package on this platform and you have the ultimate affordable daily, track car.

This year Subaru is bringing over the S206 model which final gives them 345hp and yet I still believe the LT1LE Maro will send it to school!

What's even more sad is the new Supra, Toyotas new flagship sports car makes the same 335hp out of a turbo 6 cylinder.

I would expect that comment from a L99 owner...LOL

The only place 355 appears is on the configurator. Everywhere else on the site it is correctly stated as 335 hp.

The LGX is an absolutely killer engine. I miss mine quite a bit.

In this car I wouldn't even look at any other engine the weight and handling and performance was top-notch.

I'm a guy that loves the V8 but in my opinion don't pay the extra money for it in the 6th gen Camaro.

Just make sure you get the NPP exhaust

Even more more sad is that it's not even a true Supra but simply a reskinned Z4.

It's also about power under the curve. Keep in mind the Z4 which is the same car with a higher boost version of the same engine makes 382hp and has acceleration pretty close to the 455hp Camaro. They also have significantly better fuel economy. I'm not necessarily saying I prefer that type of engine, but there is a counter perspective.
