There will always be a better (insert material object), enjoy what you have because there are those who have less.

Build quality ect.?


I get the "you should've gotten the stick shift"..

Or

I get the "you should've added the MRC option"..

No, I got what I wanted... V8 automatic are great!! Especially for how I use my car, daily driver & occasional drag. In FL that has flat lands, no pot holes, bumpy streets.

V6 Camaros are awesome & I'm glad to hear you are happy!

I've had mine for one year now. Got mine as a holdover brand new last year. Can't complain one bit. I've put 8000 miles on her, worry free. Great car so far, plus great gas mileage. Plenty of power with a few mods, etc. Yes 2 extra cylinders would be a nice upgrade, but I have no need for them.

No regrets. I honestly feel like if I got the V8 I'd have regrets...I'm a dealer though, so if I feel like taking one of the V8's out for a spin I can...I'm fine with being a second slower than the 8, while also running regular fuel at 22mpg, in a 323hp car that looks and feels badass.

Two of my peers at the dealership have the 2016 SS standard tranny, they sound amazing but not something care about.

Love it!!!

My name is Luis. And I love my V6. No regrets. Mine is still fully stock but it handles great, I enjoy the way it sticks to the road and how it hugs the edge of the road at high speeds. Coming soon magnaflow resonated X-pipe and muffler delete.

I looked at my car knowing it was a V6, I bought my car knowing it was a V6 and I am enjoying the hell out of my car knowing it's "just" a V6. My motor head uncle who was into big blocks in the 60's even likes my V6.

Yes, I like my V6, ON OCCASION an LS3/L99 would be nice, but not always.

I absolutely love my Camaro. I love the look, I love the interior & I love the 6 speed manual & thanks to full bolt ons & a dyno tune I am in love with the power. Not one day goes by that I do not get complimented on my car. I do not see myself ever getting rid of it

Take the badging off the cars and sit them next to each other, and most people would NEVER be able to tell them apart until they are started. I get just as many compliments on mine as the V8's. As others have stated, I like the lower cost of the car, insurance and better gas mileage. I also have plenty of fun with mine, too.

I purchased the 2010 Camaro Limited Edition when the 5th Gen vehicle was introduced in 2010. I twin turbocharged the V6 and been driving it everyday, since. I love it! Love the styling, comfort power, mileage and cheap insurance. Never had a problem. A real head turner and very fast, outruns GT Stangs and SS Camaros!
