Camaro 6 running with a 5th gen v8.
 

So because Im banned from Camaro 6 for hurting peoples feeling I just get to browse. :DThere is a thread discussing where is the love for the v6. Im starting to notice alot of posts where 6th gen v6 owners are bragging how their cars can hang with a 5th gen v8. About .5 seconds 0-60 between the two I think is what they are saying if I remember. Any V8 guys get a chance to run one yet? Thoughts?

Stock for stock: 426hp vs. 335hp

I couldn't see it being much of a challenge for the 5th Gen SS.

400 if your auto and the lfx and lgx are the best engines gm ever made they produce more hp per litter then any ls3 or l99


V6 rules!!!!!!!!!!

I like that thread for the internet muscle flexing. Some of those guys would argue with a fence post.

^lol that made me laugh

Sorry but I would choose a v8 anyday.

Yeah, hp/liter is everything! I'm gonna sell my inefficient ls3 and get a moped!:dnftt:

just saying some of these twin turbo guys are killing any ss in sight

twin turbo v6 vs twin turbo LS3, lets do it!

Oh for Christ's sake will you knock off the "if I put six turbos on a car it will be faster than a SS or ZL-1" or whatever..... So then the SS has twin turbos on it now what? Its a pointless argument......

FWIW I think the Gen 6 V6 is a darn good performer but its no supercar either nor is mine:)

More than that, they keep arguing that the V6 is a "sports car" :der:

:sm0:

But if I do this mod, and that mod, it will be faster than this other car that's stock!

:bellyroll:

I mean... put the same driver in an L99 and an 8L45 LGX with similar trims (2LT against a 2SS, 1LT or LS against a 1SS) and options (sunroof, spare tire or not, etc) and tires (to remove theoretical grip as a variable) and see what happens. I'm sure the L99 will be faster but I'd be hard pressed to believe an 8L LGX would lose like the LFX that prefers to act like it's chained to the ground.

Anyone that buys a manual with the V6 is silly. (I say that as I bought a manual for my V6 and boy am I a silly bastard for doing it, though the 6th gen does have the better TR3160 in it than our AY6 Japanese garbage)
