In fact it probably will slightly outperform the Camaro V6... I know I'm going to get some crap for that comment but here's why I'm saying this.
It's a 2+2 RWD Sports Coupe (Just like the Camaro)
Comes with a standard 223 horsepower (premium fuel), 210 horsepower (regular fuel) 2.0-liter turbocharged Theta.
An available all aluminum 310 horsepower (premium fuel), 306 horsepower (regular fuel), DOHC 3.8-liter V6 Lambda RS
The V-6 is mated to a six-speed ZF automatic with a 3.4 final drive ratio. A six-speed manual is also available and features a short-stroke shifter (under 41mm), optimized gear ratios and triple cone synchronizers (1st, 2nd and 3rd gears) for smoother shifts.
The Limited Slip Differential features a torque sensor for improved ride and handling under any road conditions. The rear differential transfer case sits atop a three-point mounting system (including a hydraulic bush mounting) for reduced noise and vibration
Mono tube-type shock absorbers have separate gas and oil chambers to enable stable damping force resulting in better ride and road holding performance.
And they said that The V6 is mfr rated at 0-60 in 6.3 seconds, but it's achieved a 0-60 time of 5.9...
Oh and it weighs 3,449 lbs ....almost 300lbs lighter than the Camaro V6...
IS IT GOING TO BE COMPETITION FOR THE V6 CAMARO?
You bet your ass...

I think the price point is going to be the definitive factor. If it comes in around $28-30k, The camaro will be seen as the winner because the relatively equal performance can be had for much less. If it is priced competitively, then props to Hyundai for making a great vehicle.
That being said, I'll have the American please:flag2:
