The 2.7 turbo from the Silverado is intended/designed solely for truck duty, it would be terrible in this car. Even the normal turbo 4 is only 275 hp, way behind everyone else. New Mustang 4cyl is 330hp, Ford Focus RS 350hp, even the new Ranger is 270hp. Mercedes CLA45/GLA45 AMG turbo 4's are currently 375 hp and the new 2020's will be 420hp. VW is speculated to have a 300+ Golf R soon (a 400hp "concept" car was shown just a couple years ago). Volvo S60 Polestar is 360hp. Honda Civic Type R is 306hp. I think there is a lot of powertrain competition between a T4 and V6. I don't believe the next Gen will still have both.

Adding the 2.7T to Camaro is in my opinion more likely than not. The current 2.0T is related to the 2.0T that is in Equinox / Terrain. That engine is likely going away soon in favor of a family of engines that has started rolling out with the 2.0T in the Cadillac XT4 and soon in the GMC Acadia. The 2.7T in the pickup trucks is from the same family of engines that produces the XT4 2.0T. It will also deliver a 2.0T to the new Cadillac CT5 as a base engine. That 2.0T is rated at 235 hp.


I wouldn't be too concerned about the output. It can be tuned, within reason, to whatever GM wants it to be tuned at. Depending on whether they want to bias it for performance or for fuel economy or sort of as a tweener. Example.....The CT6 has a 3.0TT rated at 404 hp. The CT5 was just introduced with a 3.0TT rated at 335 hp. They're the same basic engine with a 69 hp difference. Why? I do not know and I will continue to scratch my head over that, at least until Cadillac announces a "performance" version of CT5 with 400 hp. Sorta like BMW and Mercedes both offer different power levels of the same displacement engine. So, point is, GM could easily (imho) offer a 2.7T for Camaro with more than the 310 hp that it is rated at in the pickups. Thing is, I don't see that happening before Camaro 7.


Ford is offering two power levels of the 2.3T (310 & 330) as well as two power levels of the 5.0L (460 & 480), so it would not be out of place for GM to do the same. Probably with more than a 20 hp spread.
