Not gonna lie - I'm blown away by the numbers the base car is putting down. 5.5s to 60 in a "big ***" Camaro with a 2.0T. With 275hp. Methinks offering a V6 in there is almost pointless now. I think it's a formality that the V6 is even offered in the Mustang and Camaro so they don't shock their buyers by chopping the V6 altogether. I think they'd freak some of their casual buyers out by saying "well we only have a four cylinder and a V8 available now." Most people still associate four cylinder motors with cars like the Versa.
The power figure alone justifies my criticism against the supposedly soon-to-be offered 2.0T in the Q50 that will make a measly 205hp. It's a different car in a different segment altogether... but it just seems like a really weak offering. Especially when this Camaro is going to be $25k all over the place and still be pretty damn quick. A Q50 with 205hp will be lucky to see faster than 7s to 60.
Dude in the video is a total goober, btw. But he does the job.
