Maybe, but to get 500hp, be faster then the stock SS with 29mps and still cheaper insurance

Getting a v6 to 500hp is pretty $$$$. You won't really be saving money in the long run...

I don't see it, looks like 2SSARMY has our back.

Now I handed my keys over to my wife since Mr Green would approve....Don't want to be a poser.

I don't know why I waste key strokes on a guy like him.

Wow, you guys must have pretty low self esteem to care what I think. No, I do not think my car is special, it's a $30k domestic. I do love it tho and I hope you also love yours regardless of what platform you got...you certainly don't need my approval and I certainly don't want yours. I don't mind people bragging because they bought a 2SS, it obviously had what they were looking for, I hate leather, I hate the center pod and I like saving a few thousand. I imagine the LT/LS guys feel the same about the V8, cool on you.

My only gripe was the people ripping on the Hyundai like a Chevrolet is a freaking "M" car. Last I checked hyundai didn't need Korea to bail em out.

Yes in the LONG run. Especially if you plan on never selling the car.

You asked for it bud. You were the one dissing on V6s for no other reason than they have 100 less horsepower.

Are you really going to argue this point. Point one car that hyundai makes that can compete with Chevy Vettes? Please.

I seen people on here paying $80-100/mon on 1ss/2ss.

You're going to have to dump at least 10 grand~ to get the v6 to that power, then you have no warranty, and we all know what happens to these engines under too much stress $$$ repair bills. Not worth it imo, but if you do get a v6 to that horsepower, I'll be the first to bow and shake your hand.

It's not that it has 100 less HP it's that the V8 is available at such a cheap price point the V6 doesn't make any sense "to me". If you feel different fine, I think I'm allowed to have an opinion and it doesn't have to jive with yours.

Who the F said anything about Chevettes? Now your just making up arguments...

If you meant the Corvette...ding ding ding, you just made my point. I left the Japs because I wanted some American muscle and was sick of high strung V6's. Last I checked they don't offer a V6 Corvette and I think the Camaro should have followed suit.

I'm glad they finally brought the Camaro back because I couldn't get into the GTO no matter how hard I tried, I liked the CTS-V but couldn't part with that kind of money, and the 'Vette is out of the equation because I'm not a retired electrician and I don't want to buy matching jackets for the wife and I.

I'll never own a Mustang for no particular reason even tho the 2011 GT is a f'ing beast and I hate Chrysler more than life itself. My brother has a SRT-8 Charger and that thing is a giant turd...this all left me with the Camaro and all I wanted was the stunning body, the LS3 and a proper transmission.

As to bringing "this" on myself? Get over yourself, I could give 2 f##ks what anyone on the intrawebs thinks about me or my opinions, they are what they are.

I didn't rip on the Hyundai, in fact, it was on my short list.

That said, you must have low self-esteem yourself to make comments you made regarding v6 cars and posers/wives. Did you need an ego boost? I see you live in Illinois, what part? If you are south, I mean true south, Carbondale/Marion, maybe we can meet up, have a beer, and then you can see if what you said is true about posers. I'll wager you won't.

It doesn't take 400-426hp to make a man. It doesn't take that too make a pony car. All it takes is the attitude. Of course, even 312hp (or 306 for the Mustang) doesn't hurt, and the 400-426 is just a bonus. As is the 419.
