i agree to a certain point, yes in american we care to much about how much power a car has. i know in Europe they go for a mix of power and handling and build quality.

BUT
but you act as if you are going against the "mainstream" cars, just because you have a v6 engine in your camaro. but you are very wrong. mustangs and camaro are a VERY mainstream car. and v6 mustangs are camaros are even more mainstream than v8 ones. because most mustangs and camaro sold are v6s.

I also find it odd that people come here looking for advice on color, engine options, transmission options, etc. All of those things seem like a personal preference and I can't imagine asking others what they think I should get. I guess it's nice to hear other opinions but some of the threads on this forum are quite odd.

well dude that engine was made 30 years ago or when ever. at the time that engine destroyed its competition. it cant compete with the future. LOL

but 6 cylinder engines in general are very good. at times better than v8s. the Japanese and Europeans use them all the time and win races over big v8 engines.

Yes you did. You stated the v6 is faster than an old SS...and I felt the need to correct you. Why? I dunno, I guess I hate when people state things that aren't true. And in your case, your waaaay off bro. I could accurately guess that you've never drive an older SS, be it LT1 or LS1? Cause if you had, youd know better that the ls1 would for sure trounce you, smoke you, leave you in the dust, or beat you like a red headed step child. (sorry guys, I had to get this outta my system...I feel better now! Lol!)

I guess we can safely say and agree that the 2010-2011 V6 camaro is faster than the 2010 Mustang GT and that is what matters most. I test drove a 2012 Mustang GT a few weeks ago and it felt like a tin can...I still bought the 2LT.

Therefore, the MSRP would be $32,400 + ground effects $2,500+tax etc and the bank sees you financing almost $37,000. It is within their risks. With good credit, you can do that. The only trade off would be not being able to get the 2.9% apr and have get 4.1% instead, which is still very low. In three years, you can either keep it or break even for what it is worth.

Good credit scores, high interest reates, creative accounting.

So what about all the people who trade cars in like every year. Surely it has to catch up with them?
