It would be weird, but a forced-induction V6 could make a lot more than the current 6.2L very easily, and in these days of expensive gas and emissions Nazis, I guess it's not as far-fetched as it would have been even 5 years ago.
For some reason folks keep forgetting that Gen V V8 is right around the corner and givin what we know about it, it should be more powerful than Gen V V8s. Since GM is makeing tt versions of the 3.6 v6, that should give GM the freedom to make the Gen V V8s more performance oriented. The next vette could easily be over 500hp.

But a 2.0T Camaro? Pretty much set in stone.
Well its going to need more than 280hp. Hmmm How would that lineup look like

Base: turbo 4
RS: 3.6 TT V6 (which the power plant would probaly be more expensive than a Gen V V8 and less powerful)

SS: Gen V LT1 V8 + 7 spd manual.
