FACT IS there are some LLT's here faster than some stock & MODDED 6.2. sure, its the rare exception, but true non the less. (and even rear wheel powered too LOL)

and most of us V6 guys claim to be the worlds fastest either.

c'mon..enough BS lol
I may be wrong with this assumption but I think he meant flywheel horsepower (fwhp). Not front wheel horsepower.....

Hi guys I bought a base level Camaro, why is nobody showing me any respect?

The reason is because your car, while it may have 312 HP and may beat out older V8's, is not a V8. The front fascia is feminine looking, and the exhaust note is not something that commands respect.

The SS has an aggressive stance to it and while people passing by may not know the difference between the two, as soon as you tell them it is a V6 you open yourself up for a bashing. I don't have anything against the V6 owners but you guys/gals, just like the V8 owners that act all high and mighty (as I am doing so now, kinda ironic huh) need to just shut up.

You bought a V6, for whatever reason (gas prices, didn't need a V8 or otherwise) so don't come here crying whenever someone makes fun of you for buying the lesser model. If you cared about what people would say you should have bought the V8 because as a rule, the base model is, exactly that a base and along with the options you chose for your car you also get base model respect. It's a cruel reality but that's what life is and you have to learn sooner or later.

Everyone has there opinions and the majority is going to say a V6 is nothing to brag about but if you are happy with your purchase that is all that should matter.

So your hypothetical 4banger camaro scenario doesn't make a lot of sense.
You have missed the point but it is useless to elaborate. Never mind.

I see where your coming from but even if they had a ferrari I would still love my car the same, especially the price.

you prove my point in some way. Again, SS owners are here to "educate" some of our Camaro brothers. Front Wheel HP

i stopped reading after that. what a joke. It's hilarous how many SS owners would have rather had the v6 front bumper to get rid of the useless "mail slot". And i have a feeling i've read whatever you posted after that a hundred times over.

I never have understood why they made a useless mail slot on the V8, I mean I know the radiator is in the way so that makes sense. I was going to get the V6 but the engine and the front fascia was a deal breaker for me.
