I'm guessing that for most younger people, "drives better" isn't as easily recognized or as highly valued as power and engine modification. On the one hand, you've got the promise of excitement with a certain amount of 'untamed wildness' . . . while on the other it's more about composure and precision.
Turbocharging has been treated a little differently by Ford - for them (when they were still offering the V6) the T-4 was given mid-level stature with the V6 being base, while Chevy went the other way with the NA V6 at the mid-level. Perhaps Chevy sees the mid-level Camaro as 'sporty' in a more traditional sports car sense than Ford saw the mid-level Mustang and made their engine choices accordingly???
