I wish I had your job. I can't even accept my 1SS order

This guy is crazy I'm just going to put it out there THIS GUY NEVER OWNED a V6 Camaro in the first place. If you did were are your pics and not random ones you can find to steal and claim as your own? You have contradicted yourself wayyyyyyy to many times to even appear to be believable, but I know I'm dumb and I'm bashing because you have a different opinion from me. Naw I OWN a 2SS and know the diff between a V6 and V8 unlike you. Do us all a favor and just stop.

Put $15k into the Camaro to match the other cars' prices and then see how it feels.

Wrong again. Want another example? The G37 sport is geared differently then the Acura or Lexus. You step on the gas and it makes lots of noise and snaps off upshifts very nice. Holds the gears thru the RPMs longer than the other two. Again, this makes it FEEL faster than the other two. Not only because its accelerating harder, the noise from the engine gives you the sensation of going faster too.

Back to my original post, the V6 Camaro feels more like an underpowered Charger to drive, it doesnt feel like a "sports" or "performance" coupe. So as much as you want to try and say every car feels the same, they do not. The gearing, TQ, acceleration, steering etc...all come into play. Go drive some more cars. If they all felt the same to drive....why would anyone pay more for a specific one?

hah, they have similar mindsets, but I do not believe they are the same person. Derin was not capable of formulating a correct sentence, while this guy can. However, this guy likes to just troll in general.

21169 (or whatever your name is), try camino real chevrolet. i hear good things about them.

To this in a couple of days.... thats pretty good

It has right about the same HP and TQ numbers and runs to 60 the same time the Acura TL-S does. Having driven both often, I can assure you they feel COMPLETELY different getting to 60.

Hay crazy guy its not meant to be the "sports or performance" coupe thats why its the V6. If you want the sports or performance coupe you get the V8 which is called the SS= SUPER SPORT you know. GM made this very public, not our fault you figured the lesser model should be considered a sports or performance coupe. GM never said the V6 was either.

Are you really that big of a moron? Please tell me you are not. GM makes the Charger, Challenger, Camaro and 300. They are all based off the Zeta platform which is why they all feel the same or VERY similar to drive. Is the Evo based off the Acura's platform? Is the Lexus based off the Infiniti platform? Didnt think so. Yea, those cars dont feel anywhere near the same to drive.

Please, please, please, please, PLEASE tell me you're joking.

GM Zeta platform: Chevrolet Camaro, Holden Commodore, Holden Statesman, Holden Ute

Chrysler LX platform: Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Dodge Magnum, Dodge Challenger

You really have no idea what you're talking about, do you?
