It would blow it away in speed and mileage.

I think you will be very surprised. The old 3.8 306 HOP Genisis was capable of 13s stock. This is an additional 39 HP and I am not sure on torque. The auto is also being replaced by an 8 speed quto which will help there. my guess is the base 275HP turbo Gen will be a good run for the Camaro and the 345 V6 will be solid mid 13s without issue. That is more than a few ticks considering most V6 Camaros seem lucky to break mid 14s. In handling it will totally leave a V6 Camaro in the dust. I see a lot of talk here, but this is a true performance car any TRUE gearhead should appreciate regardless of the maker.
