Sounds good. Since I only have a v6 are you going to buy my a v8? When I was looking there was only one Camaro available in the city. I bought it. If you truly like these cars you'd realize a V6 Camaro is better than no Camaro. It was also a bit on the high end of my budget, so paying any more for a V8 wouldn't work for me. Add in the small cost of insurance, and that right there would have meant I couldn't get it. So what should I have done? Got it and then not be able to make payments? Or choose not to eat, or choose not to put gas in the car? Or should I have bought the car I could afford? Gas milage. I really don't know about the gas milage on the V8 but on mine I do OK. Yes, it's a sports car and we don't buy then for the milage, but when (if) I'm driving nice and normal I get close to the same milage as my last 2 vehicles, one was a 4 banger. Even on a recent trip to another city, I used $10 less fuel than I did in my last car. And guess what? My 323HP is still quite a bit. I can take all the ricers at the stoplights. On the 1/4 now that I got the launch figured out, I can so OK (a stock vehicle won't beat a car setup for drag racing.) So ya, if you think there's really no excuse for us to have a V6, then by all means send my the money to get a V8. Until you pay for someone's vehicle, you truly have no right to an opinion on what they drive, be it a smaller engine Camaro driven by a plaid vest wearing, mullet headed Bud drinking redneck, or a fart canned, stickered, park bench winged ricer, or a Dodge minivan with car seats, toys all over and barney in the DVD player, or a crowd eating Mustang. |

Let me get this straight....you base YOUR opinion on YOUR experience right, but everybody else should fall in line behind you because of YOUR experience and YOUR opinion? Interesting.....

I thought it would be a bunch of V8s in the shade with the V6 out in the sun with no shade. ShaDe on me I guess.

This thread makes me want to start a thread called 'V8 owners who check their fuel mileage'. All I can tell you about mine is that when I get to about 250 miles since my last fill up, I'd better be finding a gas station. If I really cared, I would have a v6. Oh wait, I do. In my Terrain. Yeah, don't know what it gets for mileage either, lol.

Never understood how there is no shade on the v6. My v8 came with shade from the factory.
