Size matters.. most women would rather have an 8 than a 6.. ladies chime in.. I of course have the bigger of the too...

I currently own a 2014 v6, like the older v6 ones it just has a normal hood cowl with no vents or slots. while the v8 looks like the zl1, it took the hood from a zl1 and put it on the SS models.

It definitely does not look like a ZL1

A lot of smart ass comments in this thread... I don't understand why people do that, it really does reflect poorly on them...

Compensating for for something because most ppl with a V6 can buy a SS! Or payed more for their V6 , than most have payed for their V8! SS 76 HP over the V6 , ZL1 is a different story! like a 7 foot basketball player that can't make it in the NBA! big for nothing!

When I bought my wife's Camaro we considered the SS automatic as she didn't want to drive a standard as her daily user. Of course the killer for us on the L99 is the watered down AFM feature on the automatics. I didn't buy a 2012 Silverado 5.3 for that very reason and instead bought the L9H 6.2L engine option which through 2013 was non-AFM. The skip shift feature on the manuals is a better trade off ,but who wants to have to bypass features on a new car to drive it like you want and risk the loss of drivetrain warranty on a new car if something was to fail.? The V-6 was the best choice for us at this time. If we upgrade in the future and stay in a Camaro , the next one will be a ZL1.Maybe a lightly used one that someone else paid up front for the lack of nanny features.

Riiiiight.....

Or how about 103HP comparing M6 vs M6

Also 3.27 vs 3.45 gears

278 ft-lbs vs 420 ft-lbs ----> Every V6 vs V8 argument seems to overlook this

I could go on but being a former V6 owner and actually liking my previous car I don't want to shit on the car, just making sure the quoted poster understands it's more then "76 hp" blah blah blah

Tell us how you like the skip shift feature.
