Let's say the Challenger will lose a hundred pounds thanks to a smaller engine The numbers tell the case: Challenger's Power to weight ratio is: 10.8 Camaro's would be 11.8. The Challenger is faster, but it's not "more than enough" to kick the DI V6's ass. Think back to G8/Challenger SRT8. (G8 = 11.08; SRT8 = 9.64), yet the G8 kept right on it's tail. Scary. Quote:
300hp V6, 400hp V8, and 500+hp V8. With a high probability of a 260hp T4. Any questions? |

The 2.0L turbo is currently rated at 260HP, however there is good information that GM is talking about or planning a 300HP version of said engine. It was mentioned for the Targa Solstice GXP model. It has been known for a while that GM left some HP on the table when they did the 2.0L |

After looking super close, I've come to the conclusion that, that is a challenger sitting next to our beloved Camaro, i think. Also, why is there a Dodge Caliber next to it on the other side?? Are they comparing performace stats between the three?? j/k

Not saying anything. The talk is about the 2.0L turbo going into the Solstice targa GXP. I imagine that is because they don't want to try and fit a V6 into it. However it does become important when we are talking about that engine going into the Camaro because it means that it could be more than 260HP.

If I'm wrong about the R/T being the Hemi, I appologize. I think it would be a V6 DI Camaro because of the torque, at least in a 1320. I think Camaro would pull at the top, but still don't think it would outrun a Hemi. Who knows though; with the right gearing, that little V6 could pull a Hemi, perhaps.
We'll find out soon enough
