Are you really going to argue this point. Point one car that hyundai makes that can compete with Chevy Vettes? Please.
Dude nobodies sayin that hyundai can F/// with a vette. What they are sayin is the genny is one tough azz V6 and stock to stock is the superior driving car. Plus at 25k the hyundai is already leather. At 27500 its loaded to the max. At 31k its tracked out and at 32k it has nav. At 32k it has more features than a 2ss with more power than the v6 cam. Not saying its better. Just sayin people are disrespecting hyundais car when there V6 still lacks dollar for dollar. And got a have it factor is someones opinion not fact.
People get mad when I defend the camaro on the G forum. People just aren't fair. That's not being a true enthusiast. True enthusiasts just love to see various sports cars and friendly competition. My only gripe in the sports car world is the V6 muscle car. That's like a double negative. Lol

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.
Bwahahaha, there we go, the true internet tough guys come out to play...

No, it doesn't take 400 HP to make a man, it just takes 400 HP to move a 4000 pound pig of a car.

No, you are taking me wrong. This isn't about fighting or anything. Having a beer has nothing to do with knuckling up, besides that, I don't need to threaten, or fight anyone to prove my point.

Naw, it's all about getting to know someone, in the real world, you are calling a poser due to the car he drives. Someone you are talking about on the internet, without knowing. That's all. You read anymore into it, that's on you.

The car moves pretty damn quick for just 312hp too. Considering how much lighter the Genesis and Mustang are, the Camaro hangs pretty good in the v6 realm. It's a driver's race with the Genesis, and the 2011 Mustang is yet to really be seen, but we just might be looking at those ugly tail lights without help, lol. Not too bad for a 3800pd pig with just 312hp really. Not IMHO anyway.

That's cool because I'm a runner not a fighter and I haven't had a drink in 22 years.

I'm not saying there aren't exceptions to the rules: I just don't get it and like I keep saying, that's ok, it's just one anonymous guys opinion.

Ok, I'll drink the beer, if you don't mind, and I'll buy the first round of whatever you're having. No biggie.


The problem was the comment, and I wouldn't call them rules, or exceptions. Rather, it's thats person;s ideal of what they wanted in their car. They aren't posers for it. You want a poser? Try the guy on the Honda Shadow Spirit sporting the Harley Davidson engineer boots and doorag, with Cobra pipes. That's a poser.

(and not because of the bike either, but rather, his accessories, lol.)

How does 8-10k less for a v6 NOT make sense?

Wow, I came into this thread a bit late, and thats probably a good thing! lol

Anyone who thinks you really need 400 + horses in this "pig" of a car to have any fun is one of the following: 1) in denial that anything other than their V8 is cool; 2) ignorant...plain and simple.

OverZeaLouS...all i got to say to some of your comments is

The 500 mark (or DANG) close to it has been acheived on the Camaro V6 using a single turbo. (at least on the dyno) Car pulled nearly 450 wheel horsepower on the dyno. Kit is being developed by STS...its not complete..but shows its possible,and that was on 6 psi of boost.

Back to the point...the V6 is no V8, but it is a FINE performing car. If you can't appreciate the performance that can be had at the price point, you need to open your eyes.

The STS TT v6 hit 425 horsepower, didn't it?

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. I am truly intrigued now.

The STS is a single turbo, hit 400+ at the ground on 6 psi.

The TT is the Jay Leno car, and it's not for certain it even runs.

I think it was 405 rwh and 500 hp at crank. Anyway, this thing is not tuned well yet.
