No Dammit!! It's Not a V8!!

[blizzpat]

Nowadays you can't even talk with an 11 second car...

In terms of the car crowd, both the v8 and v6 are slow cars....

Yep, that's exactly my point. Both of my cars are slow. They just happen to be very enjoyable to drive, and that's what I bought them for.

Its the heavy weight and the low torque that kills the V6. HP is nothing... it all in the torque and the weight. When will people learn (never) that its not about HP its about TORQUE.

HP = FAST
TORQUE = QUICK

It isnt how FAST your car can go thats impressive (HP) its how QUICKLY it can get there (TORQUE).

STOCK V6 Camaro dyno: 253 rwhp and 227 rwtq
STOCK V8 (LS3) Camaro dyno: 355 rwhp and 366 rwtq

Same dyno and weight has no effect on the dyno...

Thats your "problem", 227 ft-lbs of torque. Flash the 312 HP all you want if that makes you happy but thats not what makes a car quick, facts are facts.

As far as the people asking "is that a V8" and then turning a cold shoulder when you say no... screw them. There is nothing wrong with the V6. Its a great car... be happy with what you have and don't let people get under your skin... and be happy not many people know the difference between HP and TQ. LOL

Yes the V6 is impressive and I'm happy GM is upping the power in them so that they don't get slapped around anymore.

I did not by a V6 because I have 13 year old car that's faster than it stock, so I went with the SS.

and it sounds like you dont get the point what can u safely tell me you drive the fastest car out there that you will smoke any car that gets infront of you.Why are you comparing the v6 to the v8 its obvious that the v8 is faster but that doesnt take anything away from the v6.

I guarantee you wouldnt be saying this infront of some one who drives a V10. The guy in the v10 will laugh at you you see my point is that theres always going to be a faster car

Tell them it's a Camaro, who the hell cares what engine is in it. They all look awesome.

Lol, ok first. Lear to formulate a sentence with real words and puncuation. I had to read that three times just to figure out what you are saying.

Where did I say I drive the fastest car out there? I didn't, go look at my next post. I said both my cars are slow!

[DarkneSS]

As far as Im concerned when the V6 first came out the base model LS was literally the fastest brand new car you could buy for the price and obviously the best looking. Those two together make for a perfect reason to buy.

Just because it's a forum doesn't mean one should type like they're IMing or texting. I'm just putting that out there. Usually, on forums in particular, having good sentence structure and grammar is a good thing.

Much respect to you guys, but I just couldn't spend 35-38K for it. This V6 Camaro could wipe most cars out there today even with a V8, i.e. the Mustang. So I am proud of my V6. Its hella fun to drive. For those summer days I want a V8, I have a 71 Chevelle SS with a 454 (545HP 566TRQ) and 4.10 gears with a T56 6 speed that will blow the doors of most any Camaro out there. But as my daily driver and I am at the gas station the next time I am asked if it is a V8 or an SS, I am going to say.....Its a O Ten Camaro Bro...Who F#$$in Cares!

you didnt even realize its 312hp and u paid for it
