There will be nothing embarassing about kicking other cars asses.
There will be nothing embarassing about being able to continue to sell Camaros because they meet CAFE requirements by having some models that get great fuel economy.
I don't know if I'd want a turbo 4, I think even at my low budget I'd still want the NA V6, but I'd thank all those folks who take one for the team when they buy the turbo 4. The VW GTI's 260hp turbo 4 makes most of its mounds of torque at a respectable 1900 rpm, IIRC, so a similar GM turbo 4 should be a decent drive.
As I've mentioned in a couple v6 vs. v8 threads...all these small-displacement Camaros will not only help Camaro's overall average MPG meet CAFE requirements, but they will be a lot of fun to buy used in great condition in a few years for that engine you've been building in your garage!
