HP = FAST

It isnt how FAST your car can go thats impressive (HP) its how QUICKLY it can get there (TORQUE).

STOCK V6 Camaro dyno: 253 rwhp and 227 rwtq
STOCK V8 (LS3) Camaro dyno: 355 rwhp and 366 rwtq

Same dyno and weight has no effect on the dyno...

Thats your "problem", 227 ft-lbs of torque. Flash the 312 HP all you want if that makes you happy but thats not what makes a car quick, facts are facts.

As far as the people asking "is that a V8" and then turning a cold shoulder when you say no... screw them. There is nothing wrong with the V6. Its a great car... be happy with what you have and don't let people get under your skin... and be happy not many people know the difference between HP and TQ. LOL

Stop making sense!
