Especially since the vast majority of 4-cylinders are inline design.
Though I think VW had a V4 once upon a time?

I like it. I'd take a C6 at that price, though. Performance should be similar, since the Vette weighs like 800 pounds less, and the appearance is more inline with my personal taste. 
I think the Camaro will be closer to 3400-3500 lbs than 4000. Just guessing.

I don't really like the vert version of the new Mustang, makes it lose it's classic look.

Assuming the internals will hold up to it. I remember discussion about Ford not using the exact same internals as the Ford GT in this 5.4L.
As for this car competing with a Z06...
Call it a lower price alternative, but it's definitely not a competitor anywhere except maybe the dyno.

What internals did they use then?

Most likely lighting engine internals mix with GT internals. and it will hold up 600HP (al least the engine will). I saw a lot of lightings with that amount of power without any problems with the engine.
I think that that car will be a killer to drive, just swap pulleys (maybe ported supercharger) add some tuning and cat-less exhaust and you should expect 600RWHP and ability smoke Z06.
We all know that those cars are totally different, but in the straight line they will perform very similar (after some mods for cobra). And since 90% of the people don’t know how to drive on the curves the straight line performance is what most folks care about…
