Look at what happened with the 718 Cayman when it dropped to a turbo 4 from a flat six. People just about lost it completely.
What about this. What if instead of a 4/6/8 cylinder lineup, we get the L3B for a base engine and the 4.2L blackwing V8 as the uplevel engine?

Nahh. The blackwing will be exclusive to Cadillac only (Source: GMAuth).
And I know it hurts to know that the peak power will be at 4000RPM, but this is most likely what's gonna happen. Let's be real, the LT1 is at 4400, so 4000 isn't AS bad as it sounds.
I think the 6-cyl is out of the window after this one. Not to forget that there's a 1LT V8 coming in for the sound/vibration enthusiasts.
