2009 Nissan 370Z NISMO, 3:12.0
2017 Chevrolet Camaro 1LE, 3:04.0
Those times aren't even close. Maybe you can provide C&D your expertise. Or you just think 'performance advantage' is strictly straight line speed.
Also, newsflash--nobody has been developing faster NA 6 cylinder engines, with the exception of Porsche, in a long time. It isn't just a V6 Camaro thing. Most 6 cylinder cars making over 350hp are turbo/supercharged, and have been that way for a long time.
Also:
2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392, 3:09.4
2017 Chevrolet Camaro 1LE, 3:04.0
So a V8 Challenger is slower around a track than a V6 Camaro.
