The reason why most people hate or have nothing nice to say about the V6 is that they have it in their head that only a Sports car/muscle car should come one way with a V8 and a manual transmission. No matter what you try and tell them or what facts you have they have a one track mind. Some will argue that it’s not fair the V8 should look much different from the V6 and yadda yadda yadda.
Some people just cannot get over that the 2010 V6 Camaro deserves to be called a muscle car the numbers below prove that this Generation V6 out performs the V8 on the early 4th Gen Camaro Z/28 V8. So the bottom line 2010/11 Camaro V6 or V8 they are both a Muscle Car.
