I understand that many of you think that the v6 camaro is not meant for racing, however why would GM build a 300 hp V6 with, similar horse power to the mustangs v8 ?

I know that not to trust mag for info but if you guys have reliable resources, please do point out where. In a a mustang comparison for Motortrend http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...fications.html
