Saying the LLT feels almost as smooth as an engine from a $50k Acura is knocking it ? I used to own a 2006 Acura RL. I was referring to the VQ feeling like a V8 because in relation to other N/A V6's it's torque curve is very stout. This is coming from a Jeep Cherokee 4.6 liter stroker owner, I like the raspy, big, powerful feeling of an engine and being able to hear and "feel" the engine versus riding on a "silky smooth flow of water or butter" that masks the quickness of the car and makes it feel slower with less drama.

The v6 brigade sure makes some threads interesting. What I take from this thread and most others. . .

Zeus himself drives a v6 Camaro.

And just to give you the straight up facts...fastest Camaro V6 reviewed by the "professionals" was 5.6 0-60 in a manual and 14.2 1/4.

Our best stock time here so far is a 14.2 or 14.3...one guy claims a 14.0something but no slip to back it up.

We also have someone that ran a 13.7x with just intake and exhaust, and yes it was perfect weather and DA....so I would think that with the "downhill" track the V6 could hit a 13 lol.

Just sayin lol. and your right, I enjoy my car for much more than 1/4 mile times of course...Its beautiful! But something about owning the V6 and seeing what we can squeeze out of also really appeals to me.

Mark my words, soon we will be seeing N/A V6 Camaros with CAI, Exhaust, headers, E85 tune, ported intake manifold and good rubber running very low 13s or very high 12s. There will always be faster cars.

Thank you for having one of the few positive contributions to this thread.

I agree with you, and I look forward to seeing/hearing about a N/A V6 doing very well. I actually intended to buy an SS Camaro when they first came out but couldn't wait long enough for them to hit the dealerships.

I have nothing against the V6 Camaro, I mainly just wanted to clear up a lot of the misinformation which seems to surround the 350z.

Someone going up against an HR 350z in a V6 Camaro, thinking they have a good shot of winning, is going to be sorely disappointed. Someone with a few bolt-ons going up against an older DE model may very well end up with a win. The most important way for a Camaro driver to know the difference it by looking at the hood, if it has a slight bump it is the newest model (HR), if it doesn't (and has just as line going through the hood) it is the older DE.

If you've been driving Ford's pony car as long as I have (since the late 70's) you know as well as I do that a great percentage of owners refer to their steeds as "Stangs".

Be honest dude ...
