Wow...I wasn't expecting much over 300 from either the next gen Ford Mustang or the Chevy Camaro turbo 4s. 330 is pretty impressive to me...and it will likely have a very good torque curve as well.

I have to agree with DaBears in that a 3,300 lb car with the above engine would be a friggin blast.

I hate to say it, but a car with that weight, and that powerful of a turbo 4 base engine....I don't see much of a reason to offer an N/A V6. Don't get me wrong, I hope Ford/Chevy do offer V6s with around 340HP/300TQ but how would that be any better than this turbo 4? It really wouldn't be, which saddens me cause I'm a bit of V6 enthusiast at this point and love adding on the bolt ons to see what they can do. With the turbo4, you just tune for more boost and suddenly you turn a 330HP motor into something much higher than that.

Here is what I'd love to see:
- Turbo 4,
- V6
- V6 turbo
- V8
- SC V8

I don't expect either manufacturer giving us that many options so here is what I expect:

1)
- Turbo 4
- V8
- SC V8

OR

2)
- Turbo 4
- Turbo V6
- SC V8

Notice I left out any N/A V8. Wow that would hurt a lot of enthusiasts out there.
