That means that the Camaro will be able to sell to current buyers plus small displacement performance buyers. You already have Camaros or at least an interest which is why you're here. If you're commenting here, you don't have to agree. You're already a sold car.
I just want to suggest, possibly paraphrasing you, that many Camaro's are not bought as muscle cars, but as sporty cars.
At any rate, the boosted 4 cyl, if offered will be a good version (with the reduced weight car) in order to make MPG targets.
Also, its amazing that the TTV6 puts out the 435HP akin to the 1967 Corvette 427 big block Tri-powers too! Somehow it just seems like there may not be rating equivalence! It would be nice to drop a new TTV6 into an old 67 Vette and compare track times eh?
