To me it is the same situation here. I would never even bother with the Regal especially when the Grand National was there. It isn't that I have an issue with the DI 3.6 in fact I think it is an awesome engine....but if I was looking for that engine I would be looking at a CTS not a V6 camaro.

People keep saying that the V6 is a terrific bargain and the SS is overpriced for what it is....In my eyes the V6 is a total waste of my $25k while the SS is worth every penny. But as I said above to each his own!

I also think the 1SS is a good bargain, LS3,6060 trans,true duals,14" brakes,20" wheels etc. Good deal for the money. I would have liked a base model V8 car, maybe a 5.3 to choose from with LS trim and upgraded suspension, but the 1SS will do.
