I drove a ATS with the Turbo 4 and one with the 6. Both fine engines. I'm just being flippant. For me the Camaro is about the torque and the sound that only comes from a V8. But it's great that GM gives people options to own a Camaro without it breaking the bank. The truth is the V8 is going to be killed off and we will all be driving electric cars and that is going to suck! Torque without sound is not the same.
