Not that it makes a huge difference but I feel as though my M6 V6 pulls harder than an A6 V6. not suure why but there was a def difference between the two. Someday that V8 torque might call my name but only if its green

Man I hate when people say RS for a V6. If you going to start a useless rant at least get it right!!

RS is NOT a model, it's a damn appearance option.

What he said COME ON MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

The V6 is a lot of car for the money.

That's because it does. Manual has a 3.27, while the auto has a 2.92 iirc

I thought my V6 was pretty quick, and the price was right. I mean you can get a 1LS V6 for easily under $22k. 323HP for $22k is a good deal. I mean a Porsche Carrera is only putting out 350HP.

A Subara BRZ / Toyota Scion FR-S is easily over $30k for 200HP.

I have owned my 2011 SS for half a year now and never drove the V6 until my brother bought one this week. I was curious to see the difference in drivability and fully expected to notice a difference in power of course.

I was totally unimpressed with the car. Other than the good looks, I don't think I would have ever bought the V6 Camaro based on driving feel compared to other cars on the market.

It sounds like your brother bought a dud. I rented a V6 auto in Florida. It had no trouble doing a burnout. No, the brakes weren't Brembos, but the car was lighter than my SS... the brakes performed great. Overall, the V6 I rented was a fantastic car. It was quick and it handled great. I had zero complaints.

I think you are just trying to justify your own purchase. If slamming the V6 makes you feel better about buying an SS, then that's good. Keep telling yourself how bad the V6 is....

I would buy a Honda Accord ExV6 before I buy a mustang v6, or Camaro V6.

If your thread title starts with "I know I'm gonna get flamed for this", you probably should just... not post it.
