I asked myself "in what conditions are you going to be driving the car?"
For me, its going to be my daily driver, so deep snow, lots of spring rain, and it has to fit golf clubs for the summer.

I drove my '95 Z28 in the winter one year and HAD to get snow tires and keep it under 2500 rpm at ALL times. The car had too much torque to start from a light without spinning. So it was easy for me to decide on the V6. it has more HP than the '95, but less torque. And I actually prefer rear wheel drive in the winter!

But if the new camaro was going to be my summer only car, then i would have ordered the V8.
