If some reports are to believed, the 2014 Malibu with the 2.0T has a faster 0-60 time than a Camaro V6.
I have serious doubts on that one. 150 lbs does not make up for 60 hp.

I'm a V6 owner and wouldn't freak if it was was true, but that said I still find it hard to believe that it could beat MTs tested time of 5.6. Of course that was with the manual. The automatic is usually tested at 5.9 to 6.1 from what I've seen.

Our cars are just HEAVY.

But it has 295TQ, and that TQ is available across a broad range. I'm sure it scoots just fine.

Even the FWD Monte Carlo couldn't stay around when the Camaro returned.
alright, I didn't noticed it was coupe. We need this to be a four door v8 like the. plain looking Chevy ss.

We have taken a certain interest in creating a strong class of vehicles to offer our customers. I can assure you there is a continued effort to design and build great vehicles moving forward. Have you had the opportunity to see the new Chevy SS? Another great vehicle to add to that strong line up!

Yes, I have looked at the Chevy ss a lot . As I wanted Chevy to compete with Dodges charger. The Chevy ss looks too plain. No curves or character to it just car with a v8. but it's not ugly just don't stand out, but I still think Chevy wins with this because they finally offer a four door v8. So they are in the right direction, the looks just needs work. A win
for Chevy still

When did they get a 5.6 for the V6? Fastest I ever remember seeing was 5.9 back in 2009

And I have no doubt that it will be quick. Just not V6 Camaro quick.

I like the front better but I'm not sure about the console. It's ok but I'm not sure I think it's better. They needed to get rid of the grilles on the dash. Other then that I like my '13

I love all american cars in a sense. Im deffinatly more Ford leaning as i have always had a soft spot for Mustangs. If Chevy brought back the Chevell Id be first in line to order with my Camaro and Mustang at the dealership with me to trade in! lol
