However I think the traditional enthusiast may. To them (not all) I think big V8's and the heritage of the muscle car era that was synonymous with them is what an enthusiast would look into. And I think offering anything less than a big V8 may not sit well with them (I'd say oh well to that) however they would be the ones buying it so the success of the Z28 would be dependent on that.

Personally I wouldn't care.... TTV6 or V8 is fine with me...

Now what is scary is that what if Ford one ups the Camaro by offering the ECO boost power-train as maybe their base or mid level model.

Merely speculation but they could offer their twin turbo V6 as an optional power plant on top of the stock V6 they use... Now that would not only take out the V6 Camaro but it would also be a serious contender to the Camaro SS... Let's hope Ford doesn't see this comment...
Maybe Ford should see this comment. It would force GM to see how seriously a twin turbo V6 would be taken. Suddenly, there would be a strong domestic market for the twin turbo V6.
