Iggits...you are not getting slammed for talking bad about the V6...you are getting slammed because you are slamming peeps that are buying the V6...get it? We don't want the V8...I'm going to start a thread on that.

As for me and my grey/white hair...I'm good here in Melbourne Beach...Spring Break...with or without the Camaro. I have "facts" on that....pics...ask Spike or anyone else on postaholics. I don't need a V8 to "hopefully" get some.

Back on topic!

Stout, I would say the V6 is "plenty powerfull" because, I mean come on! 304hp is nothing to laugh at, especially in a V6! There for it would have "plenty" of power for everybody! That V6 is a great engine!

WOW! Didn't know you were KING of the forum!
I guess you decide what is fact and fiction - EXCUSE ME. "Your" (actually its spelled you're) attacking someone is kind of silly.

But that's an opinion, and I guess this forum is for facts only, right - king?

The cold, hard fact is that this isn't "just a V6", and I believe that very few who own one will be thinking they "should have got the V8". (Especially not if gas shoots back up again). Because either; #1 -- the person has never owned a V8 car, and wouldn't know any better. or #2 -- the person HAS owned a modern V8 car, and made the conscious choice not to get it, so why regret it?

Those who are dead-set on as much performance as possible will get the SS. These folks shouldn't be expected to understand the appeal of a powerful V6, because it will always be second in line to their car. It's certainly normal for these guys to believe they would always question their decision if they bought a V6, and probably true....but people of this group: you aren't buying a V6 for that reason, so stop insisting that everyone else will regret it because you would!

Anywho.... -- great post, Camaropete. They did a damn good job ensuring the Camaro has a taste of performance in every flavor.

hee hee hee.... I mean... pics or its not true!!! lol








to all you that dont want the V-6, GTFO of this thread. point blank.

the v-6 is a great motor with plenty of evolution ahead of it in terms of power. now, there's no replacement for displacement, but I can guarantee you there will be 6ers out there beating SS's.

for the "does it seem like they are trying to prove the v-6 is worth it" people....

STFU. the reason they are "proving" anything is because of nitwits like you that spout the crap of "if it aint a v-8, it aint a muscle car", same thing with the m6 vs a6 bull isht. ITS A FREAKING CAMARO PEOPLE, V6 or V8, Manual or Auto.... its a camaro. its a muscle car. if someone wants to buy a v-6, whoopity doo. its their money, its their car. STFU. seriously, this is retarded. im sorry that not everyone shares your penis envy that we all have to have a v-8 manual to have a "real car" but you'll get over it.

FWIW, here's my reaction on film while driving the V6 for the 1st time last May at Milford... and I'm a V8 guy, through and through. The V6 is really gonna raise a lot of eyebrows!

I could care less if someone gets the V6 over the V8...and I already know, for it's price, the V6 is a great deal. What I am saying is that V6 owners will always be questioned why they didnt buy the V8, especially if they brag about the horsepower. If you're ok with that, then great. If not, then sorry.

These threads don't need to exist, everyone here knows 300 HP is a lot. The people that will be asking why you don't have a V8 are the people you meet in the real world. How am I supposed to interpret this thread?

Me: "The V6 is a good car but does not have the power of a V8."
*Reads Thread*
Me: "The V6 has plenty of power, now it is as good as the V8!"

Is that the goal? What is the goal of these threads other than to try and make V6 owners feel better that their car doesn't have the power of a V8? These threads make V6 owners look insecure about their purchase! Just be happy with your car!

No! NOBODY SAID THE V6 IS A SLOUCH SO STOP TRYING TO DEFEND SOMETHING THAT DOESNT NEED DEFENDING!

Nobody here is saying a 300 HP car is weak.

There are a lot of people like this...A LOT. Just saying this thread may make a person on the fence feel better, but it won't last. If you get a V6 make sure you have no regrets. It's a great car but make sure it's what you want, because you will get some negative feedback from others. Please note that I have nothing bad to say about a V6, I'm just warning that there will be people who will knock it.

Skyman, please don't come in to the thread and make comments that could possibly be interpreted as negative to the V6, otherwise you're a troll.

Everyone, this thread is ONLY about positive V6 comments! No one share your opinions if they aren't positive! No more trolls!

But that was the old me! I now see the error of my ways and am focused on getting this thread back to where it belongs...V6 positive no matter what!



Actually, no. This is one of GM's huge problems; GM and other American companies need to stop attacking each other and work together to compete against foreign automakers who are gradually increasing their share in the market. Ford isn't the real competition anymore but GM still thinks it's 1960 and wants the Camaro to be better than the Mustang, not to be better than the foreign cars in terms of quality and price.

I'm not saying foreign cars have better quality but they have that image now among most consumers and the image is all that matters.

(rubs throat) I'm sorry; I lost my mind there for a second! Need to keep this about V6 positives and no other opinions about anything else!

Question to Debate: Would the V6 be better classified as "plenty powerful" or "abundantly powerful"? Discuss.

Lesson to the rest of you.

This is the most immature and revolting display I've ever seen from members here at Camaro5.

I would love to go on and on about what I think it is that motivated the two of you ........ people to absolutely ruin this thread.

You guys get the prize for being the most offensive disrespectful trolls ever on this board.

Both of you give camaro enthusiasts and members of this site a horrible name. Lucky for you I don't get to have a say in the kind of people who get to participate here.

But I do get a say in how some participate here. I copied every post from the two of you as a record just in case you want to dispute the fact the you are getting exactly what you deserve.

I'm doing it publicly because you chose to publicly ruin what all of us see is an absolute great car and a huge part of what the camaro has always been. If you have to be the guys that can't just let this conversation be then go somewhere else with your piss poor attitude. Now you know how the rest of us felt when we allowed the ABL ranting to continue. Doesn't feel so good does it.

I've never gone off like this in the some 5,000 posts I have to date. So if nothing else you two should be very proud of the fact that it was you who pushed me over the edge.

You may go now.

This thread is beyond saving. Too little respect, on both sides.

Pete, if you want to try again and get a discussion going about your test drive, by all means do so. But this thread is now
