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...
the base price for the V6 is around 25k, and 30k is to get the track option where you get the brembos and suspension and tires. without that track package the numbers would be even worse
