What I think Ford will do
With Chevy upping the V6 to 335hp keeping it as the middle option which is as it should be. Any wanna bet that Ford bumps there V6 HP back up again making it their middle option again over the ecoboost 4?

Highly unlikely for this generation. Maybe next. I think the whole 4 cylinder is just silly. What's next a twin turbo viper or corvette? Leave the rice engines for the imports. I'd be embarrassed to drive around in a "camaro" that sounds like a honda civic. Can't wait for the fart cans to hit the 6th gens. Proud day. I guess if it makes money then who cares about the over all image of these cars.

4 cylinder and Camaro just don't go together.

Op Where did you see the HP increase for the V6? Link? I didn't see it on the Chevy website for the Gen 6. Wonder what they did to bump up the hp . Wonder if it can be done to the LFX Gen5 engine V6.

Not only did they offer a turbo 4, it's sure to lose to the Mustang Ecoboost with 40hp.
Guess you can't hit a homerun every time.

I'd rather drive a 4 cylinder with fi then a n/a 6 cylinder

Meh, I'm glad about the 4 cylinder. Now when people ask "Is that a V8?" I can respond "No, it's the V6," and they will say, "Nice, at least it's not the 4 banger!" instead of "Man, you should have got the V8!"
My car is around 330HP with mods, and it seems car guys are hesitant to acknowledge its power for "a V6".. but now that there's a lower model out, I think people will give it a second thought, instead of automatically dismissing it because it's not a V8. |

The turbo 4 makes almost 40 ft-lbs more torque than the V6 option, important since most users won't take their car over 5000 RPM's.
