ATS-V goes to 450HP with a 3.6TT
The new Caddy ATS-V boasts a new twin turbo V6, pushing 450hp, while the Camaro moves to the ATS platform... I am guessing the 2016 Camaro SS will get a TT 3.6, pushing 265HP. New Cadillac ATS-V = 2016 Camaro Performance baseline.

No.
There is no reason for a TT Camaro when the LT1 exists.

I'm sure it'll be a performance monster, but am I alone in thinking that the ATS-V coupe LOOKS horrible?

You forget there are government regulations in place requiring a certain level of emissions/carbon footprint.
They may end up with both a LT1 for the "purists" but have a TT option to help conform to regs...

I like the ATS-V. I like it more than the 2014 Camaro "refresh".

The LT1 gets better mileage than the LF3 in the CTS-Vsport. Pushing it to 450 hp will not help mileage.

We will not see an LT1 in a "regular" Camaro until at least 2018. Maybe a Z/28 but not an SS/ZL1

The LT1 will power the SS, or what ever they call the base V8.

Since you are so certain, what will power the SS Camaros?
