The V6 doesn't necessarily have "plenty of power". Just because it has 304hp doesn't mean it's quick. It's gotta lug around all that weight.

0-60 in 5.9 seconds is not quick

the word quick can mean many different things quick as in pushes you back in your seat, quick as in acceleration

Yeah, roughly 6 seconds to 60 is slow

Quick is relative. Most people would agree the V6 is no slouch performance wise.

Besides 6 cyls... and even 4 bangers.. are part of Camaro heritage from the past.

The story of the Camaro is not just winning races and drags. But as a daily driver for folks in rain and shine. Year after year and brining you and yours home safe and sound.

Isn't there a Mustang forum somewhere online? Look! I think I hear your buddies calling you. I think they want to know what the heck are those halo eagle eye headlights and why are they approaching so quickly, OMG!

Yep, a Ford guy that also owns an IOM 2SS/RS M6. And just because I'm a Ford guy doesn't mean power-to-weight ratios and torque don't exist.

You mean the Halos from a 2LT? Oh that's nothing to worry about, it's only a V6.

Why would team Fordpower buy a Chevy Camaro?

The last time I checked Ford made a GT500 Cobra, Mustang GT, etc.

Lol just because I'm a Ford fan automatically means I'm not allowed to buy a Chevy? I guess it's wrong to like two different muscle cars now. . Ignorant comments rock!

Why would you own such a massive boat of a vehicle?

In all seriousness, I think it's cool that you can look beyond the fanboyism and appreciate the rival vehicle. You do seem offended at every pro-Chevy comment, expect it... it's a Camaro forum.

yep... and some times all the power in the world doesn't help...



I'm a Mustang guy... and I'm a V6 guy... but Ford screwed up the rear completely on the 2010... and missed the boat by deciding to put 3.7 in the 2011 instead of the Ecoboost, which would have rocked... I went with the 2010 Camaro... 2LT RS.. and as big as a boat as it is it still beats the current Ford 4.0... and trust me... I know the 4.0...

I really DON'T care if the Camaro I'm driving is real or fake... I just can't stop driving the damn thing!

Not every pro-Chevy comment...it would be simply inane to expect Ford sympathy on a Camaro site. I just get a laugh at pro-Chevy comments that don't take into account actual facts, let alone intelligence and common sense. Saying a V6 Camaro will beat a Mustang GT, for example...that's just silly.
