I am a girl and here is what I think!

#1 IMHO, the Camaro (setting some generations aside) is the best looking muscle/sports (whichever you prefer) car out there.
#2 Mustangs have NEVER appealed to me, but I do see a lot of chicks driving them...must be cause they don't know any better!
#3 Most women don't care about HP/Torque etc and those are the ones who buy based on looks alone, and/or the opinions of the men in their lives. These women will by the V6.

I have a 68' 327 Coupe I have owned for 18 years, restored with my Dad and now re-restoring with my husband. I have also owned a 76', and a 94' 6 cyl (neither of the last two were worth keeping due to engine size/performance)

I have been lusting over the 5th Gen since 2006 when I first spotted and thought I might pee myself!

I pre-ordered on October 21st, it would have been on the 13th but it took a while to find a good dealer! On order currently is:

2SS/RS Manual, IOM, Hurst Short Throw, Black metallic stripes to be painted on afterwards (no stickers!)

So, while female enthusiasts are few and far between, those of us that know cars will probably go for the V8. But, it is also extremely appealing visually and that should up the V6 purchases by women. Either way, it is a win/win for the Camaro. All the women I know lust after my 2010 Camaro desktop background at work!
