What's next a twin turbo viper or corvette? Leave the rice engines for the imports.
Turbo engines are nowadays considered "rice" engines?

I guess if it makes money then who cares about the over all image of these cars.
FWIW,

The Nissan GTR has a twin turbo 6 cylinder, and wipes the floor with the Corvette and Viper. Some twin turbos are monsters.

Get ready for the "my 4-cylinder with just a tune is faster and more fuel efficient than the V6" threads.

The exhaust note coming from a Camaro = ouch.

The ability to turn up the boost on the turbo = easy/cheap significant power increase. And just wait until guys start swapping their turbos out for something bigger. It'll still sound like crap though.

The 4-cyl version will give GM some room to wiggle with the new CAFE standards. Which means, because of that 4-cyl Chevrolet will probably be able to continue offering a V8 for a while longer.

The funny thing is... the 4 cylinder comes out of the Cobalt SS. Which is a very easy, good engine to mod. Just a few performance mods and the 4 cylinder will be pushing 350 hp easily.

I guess Ferrari is now building Ricers, since the 488 has a twin turbo v8
