+1 on the current V8 being fast enough both handling and drag racing wise. But there's always room for improvement with a new 5.0 V8 . With 400hp, that car will be really quick.

Anyway, I think the current 4.0 V6 will be replaced by the 3.5 V6 rated at 250-270hp found in Ford Taurus/Fusion/Edge. That engine doesn't have direct injection but once it will get it, it will be rated at above 300hp That will surely give the Camaro V6 some competition.

If you want more info on that engine, click Duratec V6
