OP, let me ask you a serious question. This is for anyone on here, actually.
Outside of this forum, how many people told you in real life you should've gotten a V8? I have a total of ONE. My old boss, who tried to talk me into getting a 2001 LS supercrew.
How many people have said MAN...you pull 300 horses out of a V6 and get those MPGs? I would consider a V6 myself with that kind of power as high as gas is.
How many compliments have you received on how nice/sharp your car is? Was it followed by what size engine? Did they knock it? If so what did they drive? Did they have any actual friends?
Now, if anyone ever did diss your V6, did you genuinely like those people? Who are you trying to impress?
Surely it's not the C5 members..I mean I like this community and all but at the end of the day I could not care less about these people.
The V6 of today is not the V6 of even 10 years ago. And with an RS, it can be hard to even tell if it's an SS or not until you get up to it. My dad and I were looking at an SS over the weekend I test drove, my main want is the displacement sound. Not even that big on the power because I wouldn't mod it. He used to drive corvettes, T/As, etc and cars were his thing. He said back then it was a huge difference in a V8 and V6, and they really didnt do much with that 6 cylinder motor. He said of all the cars he owned one if his favorites was a little 6 camaro. And this is someone who put cams/headers and whatnot on his cars and loves a V8. True car enthusiasts will not care what you drive, it's how you make it your own. You could have a 1993 Buick gran sport but if you took pride in it you'd get more respect at a car show than some condescding and insecure douche.
