Ding ding ding, we have a winner. I for one hate NA DOHC V6s simply because of their lack of low end torque, especially in a heavy car like the Camaro. The 6th gen will be lighter, but the broad torque of a turbo four would still be better. IMO Ford has it almost right slotting the 4 banger between the 6 and the 8.
