You're f**kin' right I would....but my job doesn't pay huge bucks, I have a house to pay for and a kid to clothe and feed.

the v8 vs v6 crap bothers me because most people do not act like you and tell it how it is. they keep justifying why they bought what they bought.

Fair enough. LOL

At the F-Body Gathering this weekend I talked to a guy who made the comment that they shouldn't even let V6ers in to the show unless they were women.

I asked him why, and he said "Well, any man who would buy a V6 Camaro or Mustang must be just a pu**y."

So I asked him what he thought about the automatic transmission. He said drag racing is for pu**ies.

He was a cool enough guy but I couldn't talk him off of his stance.
Drag racing is for pussies? Had this guy ever been to see dragracing? What did he claim his studly game was?!

I don't get why us V6 owners have to listen to shit from everyone cause we don't have a V8??
HELLO people its still a CAMARO and still deserves the same RESPECT! plus it still beats half the cars on the road.
Plus most of us V6 owners use our Camaro as our Daily Driver so we don't want a V8 cause of gas... or If your like me and is 18, a 2011 Camaro is NICE NO MATTER the engine size!
I just wanted to see if any other V6 owners get the same crap on the road or Camaro5 ?
That's when you should have told him no matter what sized engine he had in that fugly thing he is the one who has no chance of getting laid tonight.

I went to a barbeque this past weekend with a ton of people at a friends place. Low and behold another guest arrived in a brand new 5.0. Over the course of the day i had multiple people wanting to check out my ride , sit in it and take photos of it with their kids or without. Hell My wife has a pic up on her facebook with a bunch of the girls from the party all gathered around my SS. The 5.0 got pretty much zero attention.

I think all these V6-tification threads should be merged into 1 megathread like the Mustang megathread.

Why is that? Everyone knows that a standard makes a slow car faster, but an automatic makes a fast car faster. That's why the faster cars have auto's. Sorry.

Not Sam, Mike. And I missed that little nugget. Even then bring it! It'll be fun! Always down for a good race. Cept when when the bottle is empty I'll still be able to run quick.

It's a six, get used to it. It has been that way since the 60s. Sure the 6's are great cars and we all have camaros and are all cool with each other. But the general public thinks of a muscle car having muscle. Sure 312hp is alot compared to older cars, but with todays tech, it's not really a big deal. If your really worried about it, put a 150 shot on it and run people for some money and shock the hell out of them. Enjoy your car for what you bought it for, not what others think you should have bought it for.

well of course not all. i know if my sister wanted a camaro it would be a v6. and her car cost 15k more than my SS. but then again why even get a 2 door sports car if not for speed? her answer would be, because its a cute car or something like that. again i bought a camaro to have a fast car, and look cool while doing that. i didn't buy it for gas. or because it had enough power for me.
this is why we have problems on the forum. because we have so many camaro enthusiasts here that only believe in the v8, and wont have it any other way.
why did you buy your camaro ? what is a "true camaro" ? when i say the word camaro what comes to mind?

this is what i think of when i say camaro
