I guess I will get in on this thread too!

To the OP, yes I am satisfied with my '11 LT. For a V6 sports car, it handles well and has good performance for a 312 HP V6.

For the people that say that some of us V6'ers haven't driven a SS, I can tell you that I have driven a '11 2SS with the L99. I wasn't impressed with the auto at all. I felt as if I had to really mash down on the accelerator to get the in your face V8 acceleration. I'm sure that the LS3 would have have been a different story though. When I test drove the V6 w/ M6 tranny, it "felt" faster than the crappy auto on the SS that I test drove. Plus it is faster than my previous car, so I don't regret my decision.

But on the other hand, I like more power too! So it's only a matter of time before a SS will replace or be a welcome addition in my garage!

Kinda curious how this works....

I find it hard to believe since more Camaros are sold each month that there could be physically more Mustangs on the road?

Doesn't make sense to me?

Camaro was halted for 8 years.... Mustang was bought en masse during that time as basically the only American ponycar.... Mustang also used to outsell Camaro... 1 + 2 = 3

Just being a smartass is all

The Camaro has outsold the Mustang for the past like year straight.

Personally, I see more new Camaro's than Mustangs in Chicago. I do see a hell of a lot of old rusted down stangs limping around town, lol.

Like i said before there has been several people in this forum who have bought the v6 rather be b/c its all they could afford or they thought that would be plenty of car for them and in less than a year they jump at the chance of buying the ss. Yes SOME of you v6 owners love your car and thats fine but quit acting like someone stole your cookie just b/c an owner of a ss just told someone the bad things about a v6 and it hurt your feelings! Bc the statement wasn't directed towards you it was to someone who is deciding to by one or not so quit trying to justify why you bought yours and not the ss.

I think part of the problem is that you rarely hear a V6 owner make negative statements about the V8's . I would also like to point out that from your recent posts it looks like someone stole your cookie jar and then some . Have a nice day !!!!

it is a measure of 'cool' in Arkansas when you have rusting old vehicles as lawn ornaments-- Mustangs/Camaros/old muscle cars get you the most cool points, pickup trucks are okay, and old vans get you the least.
