Nice Car > Fast Car. Enough said. The only car I would take in that list is a 370Z, which I almost got but I needed the four seats.

What's the cost of those cars? Bottom line is the V6 option for the Camaro is a nice package. Enjoy your car and don't listen to people who want to bash on it. They are not worth anyone's time.

What's that from the 70's. Try something a little more modern. The 80's stuff is coming back in style. Move up a decade.

All your cars are whimpy!!! Shoulda got a V10!!! If you dont your car is POS! Wait Nope gotta have a V12! Anything less is crap...see my point? be happy with what you have. There is always something faster, that sounds better, and the biggest variable is most of it is based on opinion and what a person is looking for in a car. You v8 guys have fun driving your car that goes 155 on the 65 mph highway....oh wait..you v6 guys have fun with your car that goes 155 on the 65 mph highway....lol

Pretty damn good in my book. Some people think that if you can't run a certain 1/4 mile, your car is a POS. Just don't pay any attention to those guys. It's all subjective. What's slow to someone else, is not to another. I think the best recourse is just not to respond to these threads.
Your car is great looking and despite what many have said, does have great power and is very quick as a stocker.
I don't care much about 1/4 mile. 1 mile is more telling of what your car can do and a v6 camaro isn't impressive at all in a mile.

Wow, some of you guys really don't like these cars. or maybe the best way to feel better about your miserable little existence is to run somebody else down. I like the camaro's dont really care wich power plant it has. I have owned many cars that were faster than both including a v6 buick. don't let a ass clown ruin your day.

On a side note, why are so many trolls on this site. mustang and infiniti owners?

Humor? I don't live under a rock, I live in a box behind a 7-11. That's where I bum for change to pay for mods to my car.

I have a LS and i love it every minute of driving it and i dont care what other people say i have a great car. Yes every minute my friends say you shoulda got a v8 or have some remark about the v6 being terrible while they are all driving old toyotas and nissans, i only have one friend who can say something and he has a new boss 302 laguna seca but thats a different story

Im sorry, I could only get through three pages. But I have to ask you sixxer guys....when you bought the car what do you expect? You bought a musclecar without the muscle (no offense intended) and that's what gets people excited. The first thing 99% of the people asked me is if mine was an SS. I'd expect them to have a long face if I said no. It's just natural. But don't worry, all that really matters is if you like it. They dint pay the note on it or drive it, so who gives a damn what they think. Just have fun

Since when are STIs and EVOs V6?

Also, give the V6 Camaro a track pack like the Genesis and '11 Mustang and the cards will turn. After all the '11 Mustang was developed in response to the '10 Camaro -- it should be faster. 370Z yes, 350Z not so much. And when was the last time someone saw an Accord V6 at the track?
