I am very excited about getting my 2LT in a week or two. Yes, I realize it's not a V8. Yes, I know it doesn't have insane power levels and isn't the fastest thing on the road. I don't care - I bought it because it's cool, it's affordable, and it's not a sedan. I owned a little gas-sipping 2007 Civic EX before this - a v6 Camaro will do nicely, thanks.
I own another 6 cylinder that came out when a v8 option was available. That one is a 1956 Plymouth Savoy two door sedan. It's still got the original flathead 6 in it, and it's the slowest car I have owned. I still appreciate it for what it is (and isn't - when was the last time you saw an inline flathead 6?) and have a good time with it. I get great comments whenever I drive it, and no one tells me it sucks because it's only got a six in it.
These v6 Camaro's are what they are. Enjoy the car for what it is, a damn fine feat of engineering. It has unmistakable styling, six forward gears with either trans, 1.4 hp per cu.in. (amazing), great mileage, and is sure to put a smile on your face every time you see it. I think my family and I will enjoy it a great deal.
Want a v8 later? Save and buy one or pick up a used SS in a few years when you can swing it. Don't sweat it in the meantime.
