A V8 will always have more potential than a V6.
For performance the V8 will be better than the V6. Now there's some exceptions like the Supra, which back in it's day the tt 2JZ, was taking on the C4 ZR1.
But sorry guys. If you buy the V6 Camaro, nothing against it but if you're buying it with any bit of performance in mind (exception being light mods for sound or a little better performance over stock) let me tell you right now you're better of spending the extra few k for the SS.

I don't need 'potential'... I much prefer efficiency, smoothness and durability over raw hp. If the car is light enough (as if you can call over 3,500 pounds light), 300 horses should be more than adequate.
Not to say the Chevy V-8 isn't fairly good in the area of efficiency but you just can't top direct injection for efficiency and the ability to run on almost any grade of fuel without detonation, even at very high compression ratios.
3.2L should be more than adequate displacement for any vehicle.
I would pay the same for the V6 over the V8 if it was a good one.
