It has more hp but also about 500lbs over the Z so I feel like its a better run as I wont even consider a base camaro if he revs at me. (which they do a lot)
Same thing for the mustang V6 which is 305hp in a 3501lbs car. In order to push a chassis that heavy you need some power imo.

I can't speak for the Camaro, but the V6 stang moves pretty good. Track times are nothing to sneeze at, and it does well around on AutoX course.
When you consider they are going for ~50% less than the Z it makes it pretty hard to draw any sort of meaningful comparison between the two. I mean heck, a sport package Z stickers north of 35K these days. The new V6 stang sits in a price range lower than the base WRX, alongside cars like the Civic SI. You wind up with the V6 variants positioned against the Z the way the Z is positioned against the Cayman...would you rather have the nice one...or two of the cheap ones?
