Now I can't decide what Camaro to go with! Deciding between the following: 2LT convertible T4 or 2LT coupe V6. I'm figuring that price should be about the same. I'll be coming from a 2015 Chrysler 200 V6.

We had a Subaru Forester XT -- wow, what a fast car that looked like it shouldn't be! Fun, not that attractive. Horrible gas mileage.

Anyway, we've had a number of peppy 4-cyl and turbo-ed cars, so I don't have a problem with a 4T Camaro, as long as it's still focused on performance. All indications are that it is.

Well said, it's a sleeper for sure. I think his gets less than 20 mpg.

Doesn't the manual transmission have a maximum input torque limit of something like 375 ft lbs?

The 3160 is rated at 370 torque on the ATS.

Does the T4 take regular gas, or premium? Because if you have to pay 80 cents a gallon extra for premium, the $1500 upfront cost savings of a T4 instead of a V6 will be pretty much negated.

[laborsmith]

Premium required. The V6 uses regular and gets better or about the same mpg.

On the other hand to me the turbo four makes the build a sport car and I like sport cars.

Maybe the turbo four will replace the Sonett III as my all time favorite sport car. We shall see.

Thanks, that settles it, I'm not going to get a four. Maybe I'm wrong, but I can't imagine the four having a better resale value down the road than the six.

This is what Edmunds.com has for type of fuel to use for the 2.0T...

Fuel Type:
Premium unleaded (recommended)

excellent review! I'm trying to decide if I want to trade up right now, originally I wanted the SS however my build put the car at $45k+ which is way too much for me right now. My car right now is an RS w/sunroof so I cant see myself getting another Camaro w/o it.

I'm on my 2nd 5th Gen V6 RS and the 2016 puts it at $35k.

I'm now looking at the 4 cylinder, I work far away from home so the gas savings might be worth it.

I probably missed it but is it possible to get the 4 w/rs, sunroof?

[laborsmith]

Yes. RS adds $1950 and the sunroof $900.
