I agree with you that the
factory Turbo 4 won't compete with the V8. Its not meant to. Hey, whether they offer the turbo 4 or not is not a big deal to me, cuz I'd like to see the V6 still, but at the same time if Ford offers one, I see Chevy doing it too. It could be great on bringing over the tuner crowd to Mustang and Camaro. Its all about sales right?
What I said was if there are tunes available for them, they will be pretty damn quick and a quick way for someone to get good power in a cheaper package (albeit killing their warranty of course, but thats not the point here).
If you think there aren't all kinds of cobalt SS's running around out there with little more than basic bolt ons and a tune that won't eat up stock L99s....you'd be wrong.
