Ford already has a turbo 4 cylinder making well over 300HP/300 TQ available and I'd expect that to go in their next base Mustang. That TQ is also available from a low rpm all the way to high rpms.

GM's 2.0 turbo is making 270HP, but I'd expect it to bump up to 300 as well for the Camaro if it used in the car. If that is the case, I'm not sure there will be a good reason for a V6 that makes more HP, but likely no more TQ than the turbo 4....and that pains me because I really really would love to see the V6 make another appearance with at least 330 to 340+ horsepower.

Either of these engines in a 3,400 car would be pretty dang fun. I'd expect the base Camaro to be in the 3,400 lb range since the base ATS weighs just under 3,400lbs from what I understand.

A 420+ HP V8 or turbo V6 SS would be sick.
