I guess GM could offer a smaller turbo V6 like a 3.0 or something like that and rate the power at say 350hp/350TQ, but again I doubt it would be cheaper to produce, and thus couldn't really sell it at a cheaper price than the LT1.
If I was a betting man I'd bet on a lineup similar to the new Mustang. Turbo 4, V6, and V8. What I can't decide on just yet is if the turbo 4 would be considered the base and the V6 the optional or the other way around. For me, it really depends on how much power and efficiency these next generation V6s GM is developing are capable of.
Otherwise, I guess you could make a case for turbo 4, small displacement turbo V6, and the LT1 V8.

Not disagreeing, but they offer the L99 and LS3 with similar power today. Maybe they will offer the LF3 and LT1 above the NA V6? Something to think about anyway. Look how many engines of very similar power they offered in 1967.
