I think the ATS-V having a turbo 6 made sense because IIRC that is what it's main competition offered.

Oh they definitely went that route because it was the sexier choice. It left many folks scratching their heads though. I talked to a GM Engineer close to the project and he said they extensively tested the LT1 in that car and it was a beast.
Having driven several of them, I would never buy one. The TTV6 ATS-V felt sluggish and slow compared to the LT1 in the Camaros. It was fun to drive but nothing compared to say...a 1LE.
