No I am not downplaying it. I am just being realistic. When 6.1 0-60 is no longer considered fast across the market then it is simply just a "newer" V6 camaro then in the past.
The bar has been raised but it was raised across the entire car market and the V6 camaro will fit right back where it did in the last Gen.
So if you were comapring the new V6 to the 1993-2002 Z28 it looks like a huge improvement and will WOW you. But when the 2010 Maxima, Accord, Hyundi, Civic Si etc are still there right next to you at the next stoplight or auto X you are simply keeping up with the times.
The 1995 Camaro V6 used to fit right around those cars in 1995. And teh 2010 Camaro V6 will still be right there with those cars in 2010. So to me that isn't really an improvement and doesn't change my view of the V6 in its market segment.
Will it be a great car with good performance for 99% of the people that buy it....heck yea. But it was in 1995 too because the standard was lower.
See I guess I am jaded because I have owned these cars before and I know what to expect. For a lot of you posting on here you are younger and a V6 camaro will be the fastest and best performance car you have ever experienced in your life. So I can understand how you may think this is a really competative kick @ss sports car with 300 HP!!! And for those of you who are 17 or 16 and this will be your first car that is awesome! My first car was a 1991 ford explorer with 80k miles on it and went 0-60 in 11 seconds haha and it burned more oil then gas.
But I have been through Z28's and Huge Turbo'd Subarus that will run the pants off of even a vette. So to me I don't see the value in the getting the V6 for what I (repeat "I") want this car for and what it means to me.
If I want to go 0-60 in 6.1 seconds I will just drive my (now back to stock) 2005 Suabru Legacy GT with AWD 4 doors and a huge trunk.....
