People always say that it costs you more in the long run, which is true.... But I focus my finances a month at a time. It was an affordable move for me, so I did it, and I am loving it. Simple as that.

thats all that matters

I know Becky D from Rodgers Chevrolet has a few Synergy SS models on the lot. Contact her. And if she doesn't have exactly what you want, she will find it for you!!

I feel that the most important thing is that you are ultimately satisfied with your car. For some people, what that takes is something that goes fast and can be heard half a mile away, but for others it's about having great experiences and making investments in your very own vehicle. Or both.
The man above made a good point about there always being a bigger dog.
I have just started to mod my V6 and I have been terribly giddy lately...

wow really?

synergy camaros are slowly dying off so i figured an ss would be impossible to find in that color now

If all you want is the sound...http://www.soundracer.se/

In all seriousness though, if you can find an SS in the right color, go for it. You gotta be happy with your vehicle. For some people, it's a combination of factors, others it's just one or two. The SGM color is quite an eye-catcher!

Yea, the Synergy Greens will definitly be rare, since they are no longer in production. So if a Synergy SS is what you want, I strongly suggest you move on it NOW. Call Becky D.

The hell with what others think...as I've said before I love my V6...but I'd respect myself more if I had an SS!

So you didn't have enough money to get an SS? You should have gotten another job to pay for it. But you chose not to.

No respect there.

Mod, IPS will have a TWIN ready soon and its already getting 390+ on the mustang Dyno running on 87 octane. To me that is the best of both worlds, Faster then an SS with boltons, MPG's go up from 29 to maybe 31 32, No change in gas prices or insurance

rberns · 05-25-2011, 03:31 PM

My opinion is to trade it in for the SS or the ZL1. Especially the ZL1, in time it could be worth money. Or if you decide to trade that in down the road, you would probably get more of you money back than the V6. My opinion though.

Where did you hear this?

ParisTNDude · 05-25-2011, 07:51 PM

You didn't give your reasons for buying a 6 to begin with. If you're tired of getting beat, trade. If you like the gas mileage keep it. I do like the idea of a ZL1 if you can afford it.
