You could be in a 4 Camaro and still have no problem beating the base Challengers
haha, unless it has about 500 ft. lbs. of torque to move that 2 tons

Alot of you are utterly mistaken about the 4 banger. First off, it will still be on a Zeta chassis, IRS, and all the other stuff that makes this car so heavy. The only difference in weight will be the engine, which really is not going to be a whole lot lighter.
Furthermore, that 260hp is at the crank. That will drop down to about 220 or less considering it's going through a RWD drivetrain. 3500lbs with 220whp/225wtq is going to be very un-impressive. As a comparison, the SRT-4 (Neon not Caliber) puts down 230whp/250wtq yet weighs 2900lbs. The new cobalt should be similar to the SRT-4.
The Camaro turbo 4 will not take out much on the road. I'm sorry, but physics are a motherf@*ker and they don't lie.
