However, the replacement for the NA 3.6 L V6 in the CT5 is a 3.0 TT with the same 330ish HP BUT 400 lbft of torque. That could be a nice addition to the middle ground and certainly be more than competitive with the Mustang.

That would be a perfect replacement and i'm sure they could squeeze another 50 HP out of it . That 3.0 could also work nicely with a hybrid system i would imagine .

That could mean the end of the NA V6 in the Camaro lineup, but with the performance gap between V6 and V8 being so much larger than the gap between I4 and V6, that would make for a nice upgrade which more evenly divides that gap (certainly it's more logical than two engines available in the LT trim which are right on top of each other). Giving the Camaro line something which plays in the mid to high 4 second range (about where a non-1LE 5th gen SS was) while a Gen V V8 derivative competes in the "big engine" game against the competition should make for a more well rounded performance lineup.
