A V6 Camaro/Mustang is like a picking up on a girl with a stuffed bra, man they sure look nice until you take off the sweater and realize there's nothing under there; of course you bang her anyways but you still feel a little short changed.

Please post more, you are a very funny man.
Of course, that's probably because I agree with everything you've said.

Lol... I guess the truth hurts. Honestly though, I've driven the genesis coupe v6 a few times. I never rented the v6 camaro but have rented the 2SS a couple times. And he's right. The genesis is a fast car. And it truely handles like a real sports car. You have a 2lt/rs. I'm sure the performance feels acceptable to you. But driving an SS. Though its fast it has tremendous heft. What I like most about the 2SS is not performance. Its the ridiculous amount of comfort. Then the crankin azz engine is off the chain. The camaro feelss like on a track it would be pretty tossable on a track for its size. The gencoupe is just all round tossable. Its a different breed of car. Its slightly hard to compare.

I guess in the end if you are buying a V6 camaro, you really aren't buying performance. (Though camaro performance doesn't seem terrible on paper. But at nearly 3800lbs vs. 3389lbs for a fully loaded track gen. The gen is way more tossable. Way more athletic. Fits in between cars a whole lot better when switching lanes. Virtually has no blind spot and its exhaust is more aggressive than a stock V8 camaro. I dare anyone smack talking to test drive a genesis coupe. I'm not sayin you will want to change cars. I understand the camaro is more of an emotional buy than a performance choice in V6 form what I am saying is you will see how true of a sports car hyundai has put together. It carries its own character.

All of u get so pissed about the genny. Lmao! I should be the pissed one. I'm a G37 driver. That car has tried to benchmark my car.NOT the camaro.

What can I say about the genesis coupe vs the G37s. If you buy a used 08 G37s/5at for performance reasons. You wasted your money. If you bought an 09 with the 7at. Then the G37s is superior. Interiors... there's no comparison material wise. The G is better. But functionality I give it to the gen. Unless you are hooked on luxury, the gen has enough to satisfy tech and comfort needs. Just not as much as my G. Its 180lbs lighter than my G. And the steering feel is better until you get wider tires and a tune on the G. Then the steering feel is on par with the genny. So I can honestly tell you that steering feel on a car 12k less than mine is better??? I don't see why you camaro owners are getting your panties in a bunch??? Oh maybe its cuz this thread began with "CAMI VS GENESIS COUPE, LOL." Lol turned out genny is not only good on paper..

And for car snobs... sayin its still a hyundai. Chevy has had a crap load of sh1tbomb cars too. More than hyundai. Remember the cavalier, lumina, lumina van, baretta, fwd monte carlo??? Why?? I'm not even gonna touch that one. And I'm leavin out a bunch more and excluding other GM cars. All car companies have winners and losers. In 96 chevy had the sickest re-entry of the impala. Look what they turned it into.
Then chevy has its hot cars. The new malibu, camaro, corvette, new equinox and the upcoming aveo is finally gonna look respectable... I love what GM is doing. I love what hyundai is doing.
But I'm angry at GM as well for pocketing money from loyal GM customers and selling cars at high prices. In the recent past GM had 40k cars with 20k build quality. And 20k cars with no quality. I'm glad to see the 80's, 90's and early 2k days are finally almost over.

GM is owning the domestics again and hyundai is starting to get some own staus on imports. Honestly as a nissan owner. Its a welcoming change. Maybe now since underdogs are shining. All car companies will compete for our dollar. Which means, we will get more for our dollar. As a consumer, I'm with that.

Ok, I was agreeing with you up to this point. I have MANY fond memories of going on beer runs in rusted out Cavaliers. One of my friends had a Z24 v6 rusted out Cavalier, and that baby sure could fly. The Cavalier was one of the greatest cars ever made.... so watch your mouth.

From my experience, if you take care of it, a cavalier will last a while.

They're the most fuel efficient automaker because they make a bunch of 130hp cars. Show me a hyundai that has 305hp and 31mpg, oh wait their 210hp 4 cylinder can't even top Ford's V6 mpg. I'll be impressed with hyundai's fuel efficiency when they start making cars that can compete with more than Chevy and Ford's base level cars.

That's your problem right there... you are still living back in the day. In 1988 a car that went from 0-60 in 8 seconds was a fast ass car. Hmmmmmmm. Would u be ok with a 8 second camaro? Lol. The 0-60 on the v6 is on the slow side for cars built in the last decade. So yeah. I don't car about 20 years ago. And honestly, if you didn't feel the same. You would be in a 4 banger malibu. They hit 60 in about 8 seconds. Jeeez. U guys just don't think before posting

My altima 3.5. I have for my wife does 0-60 in 5.8 seconds and does the quarter in 14.3. Its a pretty fast sports sedan. Slightly faster than the v6. I wouldn't call my wifes altima a muscle car. And lastly. If you think muscle is just a bodystyle? You are wrong. Otherwise the HHR would be a muscle car too. The definition of a muscle car is american built v8 engine crammed in a gt body. Pony car is a term that was made in 1965 to describe the mustang. Later on they called the challenger and camaro pony cars as well due to a similarity in body style.

I agree. Insulting peoples opinions from behind a keyboard makes a person look like an ignorant fool. And its filling my mailbox with spam.

How many V6 novas, camaros, challengers, 'stangs...do you see on Barret Jackson's auctions? 0, because nobody wants one, they don't hold their value. In 15 -20 years people will be wanting the SS while the V6's will be in the junk yards or in shops getting LS swaps...

Your point? Really...It's plainly obvious you don't like the V6 car...must you keep reminding everyone?


Folks -- the thread was just cleaned up...please stop the silly name-calling and bickering.

[nak3dsnake]

There are V8 camaros out there that no one will touch, and that no one wants. Ive seen 350 iroc-z's go for 6 grand. The only real valuable years are the first generation cars, people really love the early muscle generation more than anything.

[nak3dsnake]

I've got plenty experience to know what I'm talking about. My grandpa has raced from stock cars to sprints and he's been teaching me everything he knows for the past 11 years. Ive worked on more cars and big block engines than some of you ever will. So don't insult me.
