Only to match what a base Camaro can do. How can you make a "sporty" car and not pull at least 1g? It even has a weight and slight power advantage and still only matches a 25k base model with an engine from a fucking Malibu.

Anything less than 400hp is an economy car to me. Either get a V8 (i6 is also acceptable) or a Prius. Everything else is just the illusion of performance. By the time you dump the required amount of money into any tuner car you'll have spent as much as you would on a pony car or even base Corvette. Tuning died in the 2000s.
