If GM can do something similar to what Mercedes has done with their turbo 4 there is NO reason why a 4 cylinder shouldn't be in the next Camaro....

355 horses and 332 lb-ft, and a hell of an exhaust note...

(Here's a random youtube video where you can hear the exhaust)



GM already has done 290 horses / 340 lb-ft with a manufacturer's tune in an otherwise stock Cobalt SS. Those numbers honestly make for a better option than our LFX.

Just look at a recent Motortrend article where the 2.0L CTS outruns the 3.6L CTS to 60 and through the 1/4 mile. All the while with a better exhaust note too... everyone knows our V6 doesn't have the greatest tone under exhaust.
