So this topic has gone off discussion a bit but here is my take.

There is not much doubt in my mind that the new LGX (with 8 speed auto) will be as quick as a stock Ecoboost in 0 - 60 and faster in the 1/4. Heck, the 2015 Mustang V6 already traps as high or a smidge higher than the EB in the 1/4. The older 2011-2014 Mustang V6 with the PP option is even faster.

The new T4 Camaro will be quick and peppy... likely 2 - 4 tenths quicker in 0 - 60 than the 5th gen V6 (automatic) but not as much in the 1/4 mile. But the LGX will distance it, noticeably in the 1/4 mile. Tuned...it will be very fast. Tuned, bolt on, and supporting mods (or bigger turbo) and you'll see it running V8 like times.

As for what Ford will do. They will up the power on the 2.3 OR they will use the 2.7 which is rumored to go into the new Focus RS that is coming out, that (I THINK) is rated at 330HP and 350TQ. With that kind of HP and TQ, even with the 6 speed auto versus the 8, it will be enough to overtake the LGX Camaro. Also, they likely have an 8+ speed automatic coming soon, so there is that.
