Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C7 Forum - View Single Post - Why I picked an Infiniti G37 over a Camaro

I saw something interesting it only has 270 lbs of torque.

G
330 HP @ 7000
270 lbs @ 5200

Camaro V6
304 HP @ 6400
274 lbs @ 5200

Less than Camaro, and almost 20% difference in numbers between its HP, 330 hp, and torque, 270 lbs. Seems severely underpowered off the line and in acceleration situations. Off the line the car can be beat but even if you were in a road-racing situation then those extra 25 horses on the G are not even being used properly. The Camaro would have no issue keeping up with this car in either situations.

The power in the G is also delivered at higher RPMs, its more readily available on the Camaro.

And all this power the G makes is using Premium fuel.
