I wish GM didnt have to tend to everyone and would have made the car what it should be....ONLY a v8....its turning into the mustang....1000000 v6's rolling around with a few v8's here and there......

Hate me for saying it but it is what it is.....

I used to go to car meets with my dad as a kid and whenever I saw a Mustang or Camaro I always just thought they all had V8s and were fast. The first time I saw a Mustang with no 5.0 badge I thought it's badge had fallen off and it needed a new one.

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?
They aren't I said V6 or lower I guess I should have specified and said 4 Cyl.

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
When I bought mine I was thinking this is the kind of high-tech motors we'll be seeing in the future. I'm getting a head start learning to mod a DI VVT engine before GM introduces a 4.9L version. How many cars come from the factory with ~100% VE and cost what a LS/LT does? Then through in the looks of a Camaro and you have a real winner.

GM probably wanted to market the V6 Camaros to adults - those who don't equate hp to penis size.

Not at all...sorry that I decided to be a home owner, and get married, and own a dirtbike, and own a seperate vehicle, and pay for college, and build my own custom PC and still be able to save up a good amount of money per month.....rather than own an SS.

I have no problems with my car. When with simple bolt ons and a tune you can get a 350 HP / 300 TQ V6 for 7 - 10 grand less (than a comparable equipped SS) .....thats fine by me.
