Or reduce drag, Corvette is 30+ mpg.

Power to weight ratio says that neither of the 4 bangers should be faster than a V6 Camaro, let alone the SS. Even a V6 ATS won't match an SS unless its a turbocharged ATS-V (if they go such a route for that car). And an ATS-V, I suspect, would start somewhere north of $50k if its a turbo6 or NA V8.
I don't think Camaro owners need to be too worried.

I need to watch the unveil vid again, (don't see it on youtube yet) I think he said the V6 car is slightly over 3400.
