Default RE: Four-cylinder Camaro - the miserly muscle car

Think about this for a minute. Ford already did this back in the mid 80's, it was called the SVO Mustang. Actually I don't think it's a bad idea for something like this. It will help sell these muscle cars in more volume so the guys(and gals) that like the V8 will(hopefully) still be able to get them. The reason it didn't last back inthe 80's was cheap fuel and V8's. It's a much more relevant concept today due to fuel costs. I have a feeling Ford will also install ecoboost engines in the Mustang in the near future. Dodge has the 2.4 turbo in the Caliber and that engine is a pretty good engine. It also puts out 285hp. A Challenger with this motor definitely wouldn't be an embarrassment to drive. Should be quicker and more fuel efficient than the base V6 we're getting now. Just a thought. I'm still getting the HEMI though.........
