What kind of problems did you have?

Oh man, I could right a book. Everything from paint to transmissions and everything in between. I've been putting up with it because my dealer is also a friend and he treats me right. I'm just trying to hold on to see what the Z/28 is going to be like. I would love a challenger ,but it's tough when a good friend sells chevys. I don't really want to piss him off ,but it's getting to the point where he couldn't really blame me if I jumped ship.

It doesn't really bother me like you think. I hardly drive the car anyhow. I don't need it for work. I joke with the dealer and ask them if I can borrow my car for a few days here and there. I'll bring it back when I'm done.

I know sad.

Here's the funniest point to me about the OP's post: He lives in Kuwait where the road is shared by everything from souped-up, tricked-out Ferraris and Lamborghinis to 1980s Toyota Hi-Lux pickups. Traffic there is insane and accidents are a constant. Based on the few times I drove through Kuwait, I can tell you that of the vehicles on the road over there, your V6 Camaro is faster than most out there(that I saw, anyway). If it's still not enough for you and as you indicated, you might want to trade it in on something more powerful.

It's kind of like some of my old buddies that bought 600cc Sport Bikes instead of stepping up to at least a 750 out the gate. I went straight for the 1000cc bike and loved every minute of it. They had buyer's remorse within 6 months because they'd gotten used to the power and it wasn't enough for them anymore.

Now, as I said at the time, I think his car is probably capable of better runs, but he has a ways to go to get into the 13s.

I'm still waiting to run into a 2011 V6 Mustang at the track...

Hyundai's 2010 Genesis is faster - Agreed it is faster however the V6 version also starts at about $2,000 more than the 1LS Camaro.

350Z is faster - Not a fair comparison given that the 350Z sold at a base price of about $35k without options. For that price you could have an SS with mods that would destroy it. Oh and the 350Z isn't even sold anymore and the 370Z is even more expensive.

any infiniti V6 car is faster - The least expensive Infinity coupe is the G37 which starts at $36,000. Again for that price you could have a modded SS or a turbo charged V6 Camaro that would absolute annihilate it.

Altima coupe is faster too i guess - The Altima V6 coupe starts at $27,000 ($5k more than the Camaro). They both do 0-60 in about 6 seconds. The Altima does weight quite a bit less however it also has less horsepower at just 270. It's close here but i'd be willing to bet the Camaro wins, especially if you modded a 1LS to equal the V6 Altima price.

the new 2011 V6 mustang is faster - I think this really comes down to a drivers race for the most part. I have driven a 2011 V6 Mustang and felt the engine to be really lacking. With that said the Camaro is better looking, and feels like a much more expensive car. The V6 Mustang feels cheap. Keep in mind that the V6 Camaro came out last year and made a laughing stock of Ford which is why they had to redo their engines for 2011 which had not really been changed since like 2005. It would be foolish to think GM would redo the engine on a car that's only a year old

this guy is a moron.i have a modded 2lt with cold air ,drag radials,suspension,and long tubes.it will outrun damn near every car you just named and will demolish most of them also

you are comparing modified to stock, he was thinking stock to stock.

^ I'm pretty sure the V6 Accord Coupe is also a little bit faster especially on the freeway.

it really doesnt matter because for the price of mods you can save 5000 dollars compared to teh starting price of these cars and even if they are faster stock ,which only a couple he listed are ,it is very very close
