Ok guys let me start by saying I am in no way bashing the V6 or anyone that chose a V6 and lets not let this thread get out of hand. I just thought it would be neat to discuss what if any changes should have been made or should still be made to the appearance of the V8 to differentiate it from a V6. I mean basically your paying for a bigger motor but I just think maybe the exterior should be a little bit more different.

Obviously we have different badges. We have the mail slot which some people hate, i don't mind even though its not functional. The lower grille is slightly different as is the lower fascia is different for the SS trim. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think thats all besides standard 20's on a SS, which can easily be added to a V6 with the RS package.

In a different thread someone mentioned the heritage grille should be standard on the camaro, so i said maybe it should be standard on the SS trim. Or maybe the cowl hood should be SS and the V6 should get a flat hood? Maybe the V6 should get the spoiler we have now and the SS should get a slightly taller spoiler(not the high wing and not the dovetail) just slightly taller than it is now enough to notice. Anything else, any ideas, I just thought it might make a good discussion. Pardon me if anything like this has been posted before, I'm typically the first one to direct someone to the search button.
