It's these comments I hear from the internet and within particular "groups" that:
- I have a fake Camaro
- Only the V8 Camaro is the real Camaro
- Why would you even drive that?
- You are a homosexual and you don't have any balls
- Make sure you wear a dress when you drive that V6 around
- What? I didn't know a Camaro could have only 6 cylinders, this fool has an imposter Camaro!
I don't understand this man. I got the car because I like the way it looks, that's it, end of story, nothing else to it. I don't race, why do I need a V8? The only thing I liked about the V8 package in terms of what I could "use" was that SOUND....I'm currently in the process of adding an MRTv2 to provide a more muscular sound.
But my feelings have been hurt, crushed, etc., it's even to the point of DEPRESSION. I know that sounds completely weird and extreme, but it's like on one hand when I take this out into the real world, I'm getting stares/compliments like crazy. Much more than I got from my previous car which was a 2011 Charger, which got stares/compliments but no where NEAR the level of the Camaro.
But when I hear all of this stuff about because my engine is a V6, I don't know, it's just starting to depress me and I'm being honest about that.
I don't WANT to trade my vehicle in after less than 3 months of having it for a V8, just to "feel better" about myself as the comments from these folks have honestly F'ed with my head.
I'm adding an MRTv2 Performance Package and that's going to provide a better muscular sound. From there, I personally LIKE the car and I like the compliments I get. But damn....I want to hold this car until 2021 - 2022 and I'm wondering can I mentally endure the HATE-FILLED comments from people because my engine has 6 cylinders and not 8?

Dump the girl. Dump the so called "friends". Don't base your identity on your things. Base your identity on who you are, if you don't know who you are, find out.
Otherwise you will be controlled by people like this for your entire life until you finally go postal.
If I listened to every Mustang hater, I'd probably be depressed too. Does it depress me? nope. It is their loss IMO. I'm happy to own a car that has 50 years of uninterrupted heritage. It's a working man's Muscle Car. and I work for a living and have no shame running with the ponies.
Yes, it has the V8. People around here are like "Why didn't you get a BOSS or the GT500?" "I got what I wanted and did the mods that I wanted."
I know who I am, I have no desire to compete with the Jones' family living next door. **** everyone else and live your life the way YOU want. And find some supportive friends, because those people, they're not your friends.
Your V6 is dumping more HP on the road than a lot of V8's were just 5 years ago.
The Ford GT is pushing 600+ HP with a Twin Turbocharged V6 and made Pole Position for the up coming Le Mans race.
Porches are running 500HP with Flat sixes, turbo charged.
Who are you? Are you a man who thinks for himself and makes his own decisions? or a child who needs other's approval for what he does?
