It may blow by with less power but, that power is aided by an advanced AWD system and a $35,000 dual clutch transmission. The $44,000 premium for a GTR ALLOWS for this technology.
If the GTR was a manual and RWD, there would be no advantage.. in other words there's a reason for the premium. It's a bias statement based on the fact these cars are not price or technologically competitive.
The GTR is an Amazing machine, but the camaro is built on a totally different driving philosophy. Tech as opposed to muscle.
