Honestly, that tipping point comes real fast. Even a lightly-optioned turbo-4 Camaro is within spitting distance of V8 pricing. Additionally, in terms of fuel economy the LT1 V8 isn't that thirsty to begin with, and the re-sale value will no doubt be MUCH stronger with the V8. And until we see some solid comparative reviews, I'm not so convinced the turbo-4 versions will really be all that much better-handling than the V8 version.

Altogether, it makes the argument for a non-V8 Camaro really weak for me.

Then again, I'm probably one of the few guys in the world that cross-shopped the 5th gen Camaro SS versus the FR-S. FR-S won because of price, dirt-cheap insurance (even with a great driving record) and I HATE the styling of the 5th gen Camaro.
