I think the new Camaro 2t will be the interesting one to watch in the long run due to the cost proposition. Give it a few years when good tuning solutions are available and I imagine 300+hp will be a cheap and easy reflash. Even 400hp should be perfectly possible with a bigger turbo and some fuel work. Sell the old parts to help finance the upgrades and it won't even be all that expensive. And unlike running 400hp on a twin, you don't need to worry about blowing drive-line parts. Even if they do use lower spec parts in the 2t, just get the V8 parts and you're good to go. Thinking of dedicated track duty, I'm sure a 150lbs diet will be easy. 3200lbs, 400hp RWD coupe for less than the cost of the V8? That would be something to be reckoned with.
