The torque numbers those 70s cars put out were greater than the current V6 number is for many of the muscles cars of the era. However the V6 has an impressive little engine in there and the only thing holding it back is the weight of the Camaro which is hefty even for the V8 model..Hopefully the V6 gets 0-60 at 5.9...
