So do you think there will be as big of a gap between our V6 and base V8 as the base and GT Mustangs?
Well, the base V6 may have 300HP which is about the same as the current Mustang GT. Others are saying it might have 260HP which would put it in a lower category but it would still need handling that is as good as a 1998 Ford Mustang GT for example which had 220HP back then. I would expect the Camaro V6 to handle even better than the current Mustang GT simply because it will have IRS even if it isn't as fast in a straight line.
