Everything I've seen about 6th gen Camaro: decent 4 cylinder, turbo 6 with 420 HP, and a new v8 engine making more power. If the design is right GM is going to hit another home run.

Couple things:
I understand the 5.0 may get fitted with direct injection and the power bumped to around 450HP or so.
Mustangs turbo 4 will likely have 300 - 320 HP, but also probably well over 300 TQ so even though it may not have more, or just barely more HP than the V6, the extra torque and efficency will make it an optional engine above the base V6.
Camaro will probably do the same thing and I doubt we will see a turbo V6 option. GM is working on a next generation V6 that I've read is called the "LGX". It will likely be more efficent, but hopefully also more powerful than the current LFX 3.6 V6....hoping somewhere between 330- 350HP and hopefully 290 - 300 TQ.
If the Camaro gets a turbo 4, I'm not sure if they will make it the base engine or optional like Ford, but if they follow Ford's lead I'm sure it will have around 300 HP and well over 300TQ as well.
Then you can expect the LT1 V8 to go in the SS model with around 450 HP.
