As far as the topic of the thread I don't see Ford making any engine changes until at least 2017 and even then I think they might drop the NA V6 all together. They have too much money in Ecoboost technology. I see them droping the NA V6 and upping the 4cyl output or making another Ecoboost engine if they decide to compete with the V6 Camaro. A version of the SHO ecoboost V6 comes to mind.
I personally have no problem with a 4cyl turbo Camaro that makes almost as much power as my old 4th gen. Its also not the first 4cyl Camaro and that one didn't have a turbo to help it out. I will be getting a SS but if I were trying to choose between a 4cyl or 6cyl Camaro the choice would be easy. It would depend on if I was going to mod it or not. If I were leaving it stock I would get a 6cyl. If I was going to mod it it would be the 4cyl. The 4cyl with some bolt ons will be hurting some 6cyl feelings. Also making sure a turbo 4cyl doesn't sound rice is easy. You just pick exhaust mods that are quiet to where all you hear is turbo spool and BOV. I hear way more 6cyl 5th gen Camaro's that sound rice everday vs turbo 4cyl cars where the exhaust goes through the turbo.
