Sixers getting Bashed!

[L99SS]

Good grief - I'll explain this whole cycle chronologically: It all starts with the inferiority complex.

Then:

Once this thread hits approx. page 20, someone will start a new thread asking if SS folks consider themselves more elite than LLT folks. (Social standing complex)

Once that hits 15-20 pages, someone else will post a thread asking why you went with a '6 instead of an '8 (or vice versa). (Positive reinforcement complex)

Then we'll see a thread about how the V6 is more powerful than a previous generation V8 Camaro, is loved to bits, and how it gets better fuel mileage to boot. (Justification complex)

Then someone will get snubbed by a Ford or Dodge because their Camaro doesn't have 8 cylinders. Then you'll find yourself right back here. (Inferiority complex)

OR

You can just get past all these ridiculous labels and enjoy everything about your car like the day you brought it home! Who cares what other people think about your car?! Did everyone else spend your money to get you a V6 Camaro? I'm guessing the general public wouldn't care to ask what's under the hood if it didn't command attention even while sitting still.

speaking in general terms is generally idiotic.

You got slow cars, it's not an insult, it is just true. I'm glad your brand new car is faster than a 1900 v8. Awesome. Now stop complaining and bitching about every little details in your daily life and just drive your damn car.

Every freaking day there's a new thread about how "omg they don't respect my super 300hp v6" or "lol just smoke a modded gt with my stock v6" or "omg someone parked 5 meters away from me and I am really mad DEEP STARE" or "hey guys my exhaust tune v6 is gonna own a s197" etc etc etc etc etc x10000

Honestly man if your so annoyed by this thread or this forum maybe YOU should stop replying and go to a different thread, and I LOVE my V6 and I was just asking if anyother V6 owners got the same crap I did. plus if you dont have a V6 WHY do you KEEP replying on THIS thread??

you do know the fronts of the car are nearly identical except for the mail slot right? Calling the v6 fascia feminine would mean "when you think mail slot you think masculine"

no, the lower grill area is different. Either facia looks good. I prefer mail slot less

STICKY?

What is the torque on the slowt? What is the weight. Now compare with other cars. There is a reason the z06 can outrun cars with a lot more horsepower....

Get a clue boys and girls.

I don't know about the rest of your audience here, but I do have a clue.

And it's still silly to call v6 owners "slow." Geez Louise.

If GM made V4 Camaros and those owners are here, always bragging of their so darn fast, is a muscle-car, and their 250fwhp is higher than the fox Mustang GTs, YOU would be correcting them as well, not to be superior but rather to "educate" and get them back down to reality.

It's not the facts that get anyone accused of having a superiority complex. It's their attitude.

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.

Like I was saying, it's the attitude. Yes, you acted all high and mighty, but tried to "soften" it, apparently, with the if you are happy with your purchase that is all that should matter.

Guess what? That doesn't cancel the first long paragraphs of high and mighty.

I personally don't understand all the nastiness, and "we're so much better than you are because we're v8s vs your v6" attitude. It's like listening to guys on a elementary school playground!

I have three v8s in my garage, maybe I should start throwing out some serious attitude! Nah...not worth it.

[PETRA]

I got my V6y cuz if it was a V8, my husband would want to drive it more than the V8 he has cuz mine is a ragtop. Plus, I don't need to go THAT fast... I just need to go fast enough to get ahead of the azzholes on the road, and that I can do quite easily.

And the only thing I ever get asked -so far - is it a 5-speed and how much power you got under that hood.

I get to say nope - its a 6-speed - and I got 312 horses..... - in my book, both are every bit as impressive as if I said it was a V8.

[HufferSS]

The only one's who should be high and mighty in this thread are the M6 SS owners...everyone else not so much.

Not trying to get I a pissing contest here, just pointing out what one could do with the v6, and be plenty happy about it. And it's my daily driver...

So you are telling me that you can make a v6 as fast as a stock v8?

Hmm.. Amazing...

What's the fastest v6 right now? What's the fastest v8?

What's the most horsepower you get out of the llt before it blows up? What about the LS3/L99?

Okay then, just checking.
