I always thought when they re-introduced it, they should have made a 6-cylinder with handling like a Miata.

Motor Trend did a comparison between a BMW M2 and a Camaro V6 1LE, the "performance" V6. The M2 only bested it by a little on the track times.

Forgot to add that V6 Camaro would have smoked a Miata like a kipper.

Track times isn’t the end all. If you have ever driven a Miata, it is much nimbler than any Camaro. The later Camaros would have much faster track times, but not be as anywhere near as fun or entertaining.
