They put out a 316hp version of our engines(LFX) in the new cts....same engine slightly toned down....And most turbo charged 4 bangers hang around 7 to 8 sec 0-60s.


Not including BMW(or Subaru)which is a whole other price point...

If they flood the market with wannabes, it makes the real deal more rare. Im not suggesting the Camaro is a rare car but it will be harder to be seen in a crowd of wannabes. That was my point.

Not feeling the 130r. The top of the body under the windows is way too flat. The car looks like a table with a baseball cap sitting on it.

Also, GM needs to get a new grille style. It's not as outdated as Dodge's stupid crosshair grille, but it's getting there pretty fast.

Most Hi Po turbo 4s (GT1, MS3, WRX, even FOcus ST, Cooper S, etc, etc) are low 6s/mid/high 5s to 50. Even theAbarth 500, LR Evoq, Ford Edge Ecoboost, etc, are high 6s to 60. the GM turbo 1.4 is just an unusally weak turbo motor for one offered in the US. it only makes 138 HP in production while the Fiat turbo 1.4 makes 160, 1.4 ecoboost makes areound 175, even the Hyundai 1.6 turbo makes 201.
