I want to play this game

For me, in my dreams (at least my realistic dreams anyways):

Base Camaro, Turbo 4, 260 - 280HP and 280TQ. 3,300 lbs

Camaro N/A V6, 340 - 350HP, 300+TQ, 3,400 lbs

Camaro (standard) V8, 420 - 450 HP, 420 - 450TQ, 3,500lbs

Camaro V8 1LE or Z28, same or slightly more HP/TQ than standard V8, but with all the handling goodies and an appearance change.

Camaro V8 Supercharged, 600(ish) HP and TQ, magnetic ride modes, 3,700 lbs.

Now besides the turbo 4 I realize this is pretty close to what we have now, but just much LIGHTER and more nimble machines than what we have now. To me, weight is the only thing I really dislike about our cars. Sure would be nice to have a cooler digital dash, and apps and stuff but this thread is about performance so forget all of that for now.

I'd love to see a TTV6 also, but it is difficult for me to see where it would fit in the above lineup, so I left it out. But if it were offered, I'm sure it could kick some major butt as well. Only place I could see it, would be in a Z28 type package like Gretchen mentioned above.

I really hope to see a good, strong N/A V6 option but still capable of 30+ on the highway would should be pretty easily doable with the lighter weight and keeping gearing the same as it is right now. I wouldn't want to go with a higher gear than the 3.27s.

If the turbo 4 ends up being really powerful...say over 300HP / 300 TQ then there may not be as strong of a case for an NA V6, but I hope that isn't the case.
