The V8, that's a different story. Its not to be compared with comparablle priced performance such as nissan infiniti. That has to be compared to its muscular cousins. The mustang and challenger. When you buy a Z, you are buyin 1g skidpad performace. The camaro, you are getting good handling for a big car but a monster engine and insane modding capability.
Its funny how some say they shouldn't compare a genesis v6 to a camaro v6. Honestly, its the other way around. Leave the muscle to the v8 and the performance to the v6. Which the camaro v6 lacks the performance by comparison.

Lastly, while camaros v8 is king. 2011 mustang v6 is the closest to making a respectful v6 muscle car. 0-60 in 5.3 seconds and the quarter in 13.5 is no joke. Camaros 6.2/14.3 is laughable by comparison. 2011 mustang borders true muscle times. And is on the better end of performance times. Now if mustang can put an independant suspension like the camaro or if camaro can be tuned to be more like the mustang engine. Maybe v6 muscle might have a fighting chance as muscle-performance hybrid.

That's the unbiased rationalization right there.
Of course a G37S owner would say something like this.

Let me correct for u ur corrected then....

1. Noone was speaking anythung about perfomance. Its just a right number.
3. Take 13.7-14.1 then. After that take camaro not 14.4-14.5 like it is, take 14.2-14.5 like stupid magz saying.
4. Take 5.1-5.6 then. After that take camaro not 5.9-6.1 like it is, take 5.7-6 - magz again.

And the last.... My numbers is what im gonna see in real life. STOP FOLOWING every retarded thread with ur retarded magz numbers and come back AFTER and show me a shit of paper with a stock 1/4 numbers from a track.

Meh, i would take the Genesis over the V6 camaro any day. 426 HP is barely enough to get this pig rolling, I can't imagine 305 doing the trick...

Why? What would be the joke?

The Genesis coupe was designed around the V6 it has, the Camaro was designed around the V8 and the V6 is just an after thought...or at least I hope GM didn't design a 4000lb sports coupe around a V6.

The Genesis is a nice looking purpose built car that compares nicely to the G35c.

Maybe the face palm is on you? I dislike the V6 Camaro as much as I dislike the V6 Mustang, cars for posers and wives IMO. If your opinion is different that's cool, buy what you like and like what you buy.

soooo just because its a v6 its not a "muscle car" even though these cars are packing more power some of the v8s from back in the day?

I have no idea what all of those jumbled words are trying to convey so I will just agree to disagree.

Once again, drive what you like and like what you drive. I'm not a sheep, I don't worship the Camaro'.3 years ago I would have laughed in your face if you suggested I should buy a GM, Ford or Chrysler product. Along came the Camaro, I liked the looks, the performance and the price point so i bought it. It doesn't make it the best car on the road, it doesn't make it better than a Hyundai, or a Nissan, it just makes it the car I liked enough to spend my money on.
