Because some people understand that there is more to going fast than peak hp. Power to weight, torque, and 'area under the curve' mean a whole lot more than peak power.

Auto makers market horsepower figures for consumers exactly like you. Carroll Shelby said this many years ago: "Horsepower sells cars, but torque wins races." The average consumer continues to only look at horsepower, and ignores the more important torque number.

Go ahead and buy the Camaro V6 - it's a fresh car, a good deal and you get a lot of bang for your buck. Just don't try beating a Mustang GT with it, because you'll fail.

:rolleyes: You've got to love the perpetual, ever present, "Camaro V. Mustang" comparisons. ;)

Which car is faster is only one measuring tool. You can choose any number of facts to argue which is better. ;)

And rest assured, there'll be stories of V6 Camaro's beating GT Mustangs, just as there'll be stories of Mustangs beating Camaro's. :rolleyes: It's as predictable as the rising of the sun.

My point is, enjoy which ever car it is you choose to drive. There will always be someone faster than you. :thumbsup:
