Edmunds 0-60 time seems to be an anomaly. Most others I've seen are deep into the 5 second range. And FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN WE STOP ASSUMING $30K IS THE BASE PRICE? That's a V6 with a leather interior and all the boxes checked. Take a 2LT Camaro, check all the option boxes, including the sport suspension and brembo brakes...oh wait, you can't get those things on the V6 Camaro. You can get a V6 Genesis Coupe for the low $20Ks, and you can get a V6 Camaro for the low $20Ks. Deal with it. Admit it. It reduces torque on hard upshifts to protect the drivetrain. The Camaro skips 2nd and 3rd gears to get "extra" fuel economy. I too think the Genesis coupe is pretty ugly, but I know just as many people who think the Camaro is ugly. I guess styling is one of those subjective things...
