There's nothing wrong with offering more engine options in a car if you're doing it for the right reasons and you're not replacing one with the other.
So the question is why is Chevy doing the turbo 4 of their new Camaro? In my eyes it's quite evident....because Ford is doing it. Now why is Ford doing the turbo 4? It's because they are gambling a little bit more with that. As most of us know, Ford is taking the new Mustang globally. In other countries, where fuel is far far more expensive than we pay here in the USA a 4 cylinder turbo makes sense. You get the performance of a sporty car, looks of an american pony icon, and reasonable fuel mileage to go along with this.
And lastly what's wrong with a turbo v6 in a high performance sports car like the Corvette? It's been working perfectly fine for the GTR. But alas I don't see Chevy being that adventurous and ambitious. In that dept. I would tip my hat to Ford. Twin Turbo V6 Ford GT.
