What are the 5th Camaro Owners going to think...

How is everyone gonna feel when Chevy releases a 4cyl Turbo in the new 2016 Camaro?

Chevy might or might not release a 4cyl Turbo Camaro, since Dodge didn't make a 4cyl Turbo. Who knows, maybe Ford will be the only one making 4cyl Turbo Muscle cars. LOL

Why should it matter? If you don't like it, don't buy it? Won't impact my thoughts about mine.

Bingo. I know plenty of people that wouldn't mind a great looking car that gets 30-35 mpg.

I actually HOPE they do a turbo V6, because it's so easy to add power.

That being said - I love my LS3.

I can understand GM's decision to make a turbo 4cylinder option. It will attract more potential buyers to the Camaro.
Modern technology is vastly improved compared to the past.
Believe it or not...a 4cylinder was available in the Camaro in 1982, 1983, and 1984. It only had 92 horsepower.

Personally, I think all Camaros/Mustangs/Challengers should have a V8 because of its historical significance.
