i have not picked up the car yet/Can anyone give me some specifics on how the v-6 is.I test drove it and it seemed slow.i had the salesperson with me so i couldnt really drive the car like i wanted too so i dont know if the power is way up top or what.I only drove it for about 4 minutes.

I bought a 1LT RS red, moonroof,6speed stick,connect package, polished wheels.MSRP was 28,200

you think the stick goes ok??

I have the 6spd, it's solid, it really started to open up at 2000 miles. It will never be the V8!

Are you SURE it was a 5-speed? If so, then that's probably why it was slow... it was missing a gear.

(Just kidding... all 5th Gens have 6 forward gears)

I have two cars with this engine, a 2LT Csmaro, and a STS Caddy, they both fly pretty good, I love them both. You won't be disappointed.

I got my 1LT Wed. and I'm in Love with this car. I put 50,000 miles on an LS1 99 Camaro and the 1LT is pretty close to the 99 LS1 in performance. My 1LT is the best handling car I've ever driven. I wanted the V-6 and I think it has all the power I need or want. If I was going to take it to the track or race it I maybe would want the 6.2L. My 1LT has gotten good gas mileage in the first 550 miles which I've put on since Wed. I bought my 1LT to use as my daily driver and not to leave in a garage and drive on weekends. The 1LT is a great car for the money IMHO and I love the sound of the V-6. You can tell the 1LT is a Camaro when driving it but more refined than the 4th generation. I hope you like yours as much as I do mine.
