I think its something to be said that I'd be even thinking about the v6 camaro. It makes it a better car than anything out there. I could never
imagine myself driving the 6 versions of the chally or mustang, so I think
it speaks the great development job GM did on this car.

I think its just cool to think you could get a 6 'maro and not worry about having to 'settle' for it. Its just a different flavour of car thats all...

Doesn't the V6 RS already stop and handle as good/better then the SS? But anyway, it would be awesome if they added the FE3 suspension as an option...because then it would probably really out-handle the SS that much more.

Most of the reviews say that other than straight line acceleration, the v6 will slightly out-handle and be about dead even on braking. Why? The v6 weighs less and has a slightly better F/R weight ratio.

Eh, not really. Looking at a chally, camaro, mustang, genesis, 370z, etc. is different flavors. Looking at a v6 vs. v8 is like looking at a name brand vs. a generic (I was going to say walmart, but I know people would take that the wrong way) brand in almost anything. The generic brand has almost everything the same, even shares a lot of the same parts, but is not quite the same.

Probably a bit more of a difference than that... for instance a lot of the time
these 'generic' brands are produced along side the real deal(I'm thinking grocery store food market items)....

Uh, you're still settling. The only difference here is the regret of settling is less than in year's past.
