If there's one thing the turbo four going into the new Camaro is not is a Prius engine. Right now, today, it makes 272 hp @ 5500 rpm and 260 lb-ft @ 1700 rpm (with a totally flat curve to 5500 rpm) in the ATS. I'd bet that by the time this engine makes it in the 6th gen Camaro that output will be in the neighborhood of 290 hp and 280 lb-ft. That output in a lighter car should easily beat the performance of the current V6.
