Enjoy your purchase and the pleasure it brings you when you back out of the driveway each day, don't worry about it not being able to accomplish something it was never really intended to do in the first place...
If you want practical, don't buy a Camaro. It's not a family car by any means, and having a V6 instead of a v8 doesn't change that.

It does sound like you are knocking the V6 when use the analogy of a canoe to a ski boat. Many do mod the V6 and we have one that just ran 12.015 in the 1/4 mile. We also have one with a turbo that beat the V8s on the road course. It is a good car for racing and already has quite a few accomplishments under it's belt.
