I've found that a high-revving NA engine can be more than a match for a turbo-4 of similar displacement (with ~60% more torque and peak HP once the boost is all-in) when the revs are below the point where boost is being made (typically something like 2000 rpm). At least when a manual transmission is fitted. This would go to daily drivability; displacement and revs would address the performance side.

Think of it like this ...
From GM's perspective, what is more important: the public knowing what they're developing for the Camaro; OR Ford, Dodge, Toyota, Kia and every other automaker
not knowing what they're working on?
