Yes ... they do have a lot of experience. And I bet that experience is what led them to decide to wait a few months before building the T4 cars.

So you think that the V6 & V8 Camaros delayed by months (resulting in it being a 2017 model), just so that there can be a turbo4 available at launch? Or would you rather fast track the production ramp-up of the turbo4 engines & accept the financial and quality costs that comes with that? Or maybe GM should cut the LTG's availability in other (more expensive & profitable) cars so that base Camaros can be built with it?

All thats assuming that there is a production constraint on the engine. It could also be that, given the demand & limited production capacity at the plant ... it makes much more financial sense to build V6 & V8 cars for the first few months. It takes time to ramp up production of a new car, and its a pretty safe bet that the turbo4 is the least profitable car in the lineup. So when there aren't that many build slots per day, why should GM fill them with cars that won't make as much money as a V6 or SS?
