If you're willing to settle for the V6, that's your deal. We're just trying to let you know that if you drive a V8, you may find it much harder to drop money on the V6 when you feel the performance difference. The V6 has respectable numbers, but in a car with relatively tame gearing that weighs 3750 pounds or so, it will not offer great performance. The suspension and brakes are even another story.

People thinking that because it has "300hp" it's a badass car haven't driven a sporty coupe in the last 4 years. And the difference between a V8 and a V6 is a ton of torque and that's why you're not going to beat mustangs.

Just be aware of what you're buying before you spend 25-30k on a V6. Or don't and just remember to never race a Mustang.

The Camaro V6 has good power but it's still the base model for a reason. The V8 will absolutely trounce it in every performance aspect.
