Is it fair? No. But it's correct. The Genesis with the 3.8 is the upgrade, pricing bedamned, lol. I can upgrade to a 6.2 in my Camaro and be under $35k. So pricing is still in the ball park, and I'm sure you can get a 5.0 for under $35k as well.

Again, I get what you are saying. The majority will compare the v6s together, they are v6s. Okay, I get that. Yet, base model vs base model, the Genesis isn't anywhere near the map because it's base model has a 2.4ltr.





The RS package get 20" summer only Pirelli PZeros, the LS model comes with 4 season Bridgestones in 18", and the LTs get 19" PZero Neros 4 season.


Camaro's don't have a performance package per se. IMHO, by using the RS, instead of a standard LT, be it a 1 or 2 depending upon what they wanted inside, they hindered the Camaro just a bit. In v6 mode, the larger footprint isn't exactly needed, and the added weight is a hinderance. The 19" version is still a nice 245/50r19 tire, compared to the 245/45r20 front and 275/40r20 rear of the RS package.

Oh yes, those 3 season Pirellis are definatly going to make a difference, especially in the handling tests, to deny that is just being silly. It is about more than the size of the tire, which also surely helped with grip, in fact this is the best lateral G I have seen for a V6 Camaro, and yes, the last one they compared to the Genesis did not have the RS package and performed worse. Despite the Genesis having a smaller base engine, it is still not comparable. What people look at is price and specifications, so yes, the V6 IS the comparable Genesis to the Camaro and Mustang V6, no other way to look at it. Trying to pit them against the turbo 4 seems like a bad excuse to me.
