I'm done with all those morons that don't know any better!
I don't have to justify my Camaro to no one, I say F them all! I also grew up in the 80's and owned two v6 Camaros a 1984, 1988 RS an a 1992 Z28 fully loaded with a 5.7L tune port 350 motor (245 Hp) and the new V6 is faster than my 1992 Z28 Bottom line, it's a statement just to be buying a new car in this bad economy even more a Camaro! So they can kiss it.

In 5 months and 15,000 miles with Number 3, I was never asked more than what engine it had, but never the way you have been asked.
Oh, one guy did ask it if was a Ferrari..................

Yesterday when someone asked which engine I got, I answered "the V6, the one from the Cadillac." That seemed to impress them, so I'll stick with that.

The same who slams your car then jumps into there ford tempo on the way home jealous as hell. This stuff is stupid really. Myself i think the v6 camaro is an insane value its an amazing ride but for me i cant get past the sound of the v6. I heard one the other day and first thing i thought was that just sounds wrong i cant live with that so its the 1ss for me. Im old school i cant change my ways but no matter u have a great ride your happy with it who cares what others think u pay the note on it not them.

Don't worry, you can't win either way. I have an SS, but get trouble for it not being a manual. Back when I had my V6 99' Firebird, I got trouble for it not being a V8.

Anybody putting down the V6 must not have driven one.
I just spent several hours driving a rental 1LT on Rt 1 south of Carmel. Man oh man was that fun! That car can haul some ass, and I'm sure it out-performs the SS in the curves. A few bolt-ons, and that car is going to be friggin' wicked. |

At least it's not handicapped in the aesthetics category. In the Mustang world, it's obvious to anyone that you've got a V6.... and Ford V6 is anything but respectable. I think you made the sensible choice.
