Let's use the computer analogy. Would you say today's lowend computer chips are faster than the "performance" chips of yesterday?
Of course.
BUT to call the lowend computer chip a "performance" chip in today's world is just silly. That's the point MikeSS is trying to make (or atleast I think he is).
It's the same as trying to label a 312 hp car the prestigious badge of "musclecar"...
The v6 was primarily marketed to the same crowd who buy v6 mustangs, and take a portion of those profits...can you guess the type of people who buy those?
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with it! 312hp is nothing to laugh at! I mean, for $23k, I wouldn't have anything other than a camaro!
The v6 is meant for people who can't handle, OR don't need that much power. That is why certain people buy the v6 over the v8.
It's a paradox that the people who didn't "need" that much power... still want to label their car a true musclecar. That is what is funny about it.
Holy crap it was raining hard yesterday on the 15! I was getting scared driving out there LOL!
Stay in school, and don't quit your day job...

Dude you are so wrong for that statement, why do we (v6 owners) have to be stereotyped. I can handle a 312 hp car, 400 hp car, 426 hp car, or a 755 hp car. I cut my teeth on Hot Rods, 55 Chevy, 58 Corvette, 440 Six pack Dodge Charger, and a Monza 350.The fact is I did not want a 1SS car over a 2lt/rs. All the dealers here were pushing either a 1LT, 2LT or a 1SS at the time we got ready for a Camaro. I would like to have a 2SS/RS Convertable but they are not out yet. So for right now the 2LT/RS works for me.
