Apparently, his point went over your head.

He was saying that those cars had v-8's and are (still) considered 'muscle cars', whereas the new v6 Camaro is quicker but with a v6.

Your Welcome.

i think you v6 owners don't understand is that us SS owners dont dislike v6 engines in general .. hell this kid i know have a 600hp v6 , i thinks that really cool ... and this other kid i know has a supra with 700 hp .. v6s are great engines... its just that they belong in lighter weight cars

I really do hope you know that even GM considers the SS a Sports car....
As for the v6 comparing to an older v8 is weak and thats coming from a guy with the v6. Who cares, for a v6, the Camaro is noo slouch!
All that matters is that we got a great looking car, performs great and most important, is an AMERICAN car, for the price of the v6, you could easily get a faster v6 like the genesis etc. but we got the camaro because its great. I couldve gotten the SS money wise, just couldnt afford the insurance for my age.
