This is the 260 horse turbo ecotech, right?

I know it's not fair to compare a V8 to an I4, but comparing that launch to a LT1 Camaro (275 horse) and watching the torque and wheel spin involved ... and I'll say give me the V8 anyday. Also got 28 mpg highway.

Don't mis-understand ... I'm not trash talking. I just think it's sad that we're getting so excited about a I4 that puts out less HP and also get's worse gas mileage.
