Is your friends car a base CTS motor ot the upgraded one the camaro has? I thought of going to test drive a CTS to get a feel for the power, lol

The DI that the Camaro has let me tell you if I had the money I would get one of those bad boys man is that thing SWEEEET

justmeron · 03-21-2009, 12:06 PM

So you are very happy with the CTS power. It will lay rubber?

ArcAngel · 03-21-2009, 12:07 PM

Yes it definitely has the ability although I'm sure the Camaro being geared more aggressive will do it at a much easier clip...ps check out my new thread

Xanthos · 03-21-2009, 01:36 PM

Yes - the V6 camaro should smoke the tires quite competently, considering its crazy first gear.

This is my first post. I am also considering the V6, even though my initials are ss and my birthday was the production launch date of Mar 16. This direct injection V6 is awesome. I have read alot of reviews and most people say it feels fast for the entry level. Plus vehicle cost & insurance & gas. Would like to have heated leather seats in a 2LT. Last summer wife and I purchased her grocery getter, a new 08 HHR 2LT and am very pleased so far. My family has always been GM. I would like to order my camaro, not just for me but to help show others on the street that GM is worth saving.

Kewl and welcome.
My initials are RS so of course I had to get the RS package. It has my initials on it.

KJS · 03-21-2009, 05:46 PM

It has everything I need and probably a bit more. Even if it wasn't a daily driver, you cannot beat the hp, mpg, price and looks.
And on that note unless someone knows the difference in badging and the fake hood scoop on the 8 everyone will assume its one bad m***erf***er!
Which it is, as a V6 or V8!

Honestly dude, I would not get the v6. For the $$ you will spend on that there are far better cars to get.

For example

a 1lt v6 will run 24k plus $2kin taxes etc. so that is 26,000$

how about an 05 ls2 GTO for @19,000$ 400hp dude.

I think we can all agree that this may be a good idea for you to consider.

Don't get caught up in the hype of the new camaro, or any new car.

Maybe even look at a G8 GT you can get those for 28k new.

do what you got to do, as far as changing your behavior for a politician, do you think that is wise ?

Bewenched · 03-21-2009, 11:39 PM

I seriously thought about the V6, but this isn't going to be a daily driver for me so I opted for the higher end toy

Plus I only live about 3 miles from my work so even if I drove it every day isn't going to save that much on fuel or my "carbon foot print" ...

ArcAngel · 03-21-2009, 11:41 PM

Bewenched I live a mile from my restaurant so theres another reason to stick with the V8 for me
