The Camaro should have a V8 only period over and out.
I guess I could live with a v10 or even a flat12!

" A Camaro should only have a V8"
Although this old way of thinking will give way to people who actually understand that it does not take a V8 to have performance. To bad Ford understands this and is promoting V6 Performance. Chevrolet unfortunately still has the old way of thinking. Only a V8 equals performance yea tell that to the WRX and Mitsubishi Evo.

So what we need a Muscle Car (V8) the Mid Performance Model (V6) and Entry Model (Turbo I4). Provided they would also have the Z28 and ZL1 that would be five models and possibly 10+ trims

The V6 is far enough from what a Camaro should sound like, a Turbo 4 will just sound like crap. IMHO
