The V6 Camaro, on the other hand, will be going up against lighter cars like the RX8 and the Mustang. I'm not sure what the weight of the Genesis coupe is, but if it is lighter throw it on that list too. I'm not saying it has to be that light to beat them (clearly it will beat them regardless) but lower weight does help.
The only time the V6 Camaro will lose is if they compare it out of its class. In it's class of RWD V6 sports coupes (price range 19-24k) it completely dominates.
