Does GM have a 300+ hp turbo 4? They could make one I suppose, but I don't think we've seen any sign of that yet.
If a turbo 4 shows up, I'd put my money on the 270-hp unit from the ATS.
It does raise questions, though, because Ford's Ecoboost supposedly puts out 310 hp. If GM chooses to play that game, can they do so with a 40 hp deficit to the Mustang? I mean, sure, they CAN, but would they? I guess it's possible if the turbo 4 is the base, entry-level Camaro, but even that is questionable since the base (V6) Mustang is at 300 hp.
I guess my point is this: Does GM really want ANY '16 Camaro out there that is less powerful that the lower-trim Mustangs? Maybe GM will just say, 'Screw it, we're going to top the Mustang across the board" (e.g., base NA V6, mid-range twin-turbo V6, top-end V8s).
