Well best of luck if you get a new car man!

But I don't know what kind of performance you were expecting from a 3800 pound car with a v6 and a slushbox............

Do I smell derin11?

Dude I think you are talking out of your rear. I had a 98 GT with 225 hp. It had more torque but it was a dog. My 2LT M6 would tear it apart. This Camaro is bigger but handles better, more refined inside and out, and to me has more ummph. I never had this many heads turn when I bought my GT back in 98. I'm thinkin you're a newbie lookin to get a rise out of people.

Sell it you'll probably get most of your money back if not all unless you paid over MSRP, I infact paid under MSRP and got my car for 37 out the door with all taxes and fees including all options except for automatic and sunroof. My car is a 2ss/RS inferno orange inside and out with white stripes. So if you got a good deal you will be happy with what you can get for it and you can make someone else happy.

more bang for the buck?
do some searching around this site, its one of the best values out there.
i cannot think of any cheaper car that has 300 or more horse power.
closest one is the gen coupe.

oh well, happy shopping!

But I have see your car its bad ass in a v6 or 8 .....

"Think I am returning my Camaro"

Well I don't think you can just return it like a pair of pants, I believe you'll need to sell it or trade it in. Be prepared to take a hit on what it's worth.

StangKiller-SS · 09-03-2009, 06:01 PM

There is no replacement for displacement. The 300HP V6 ends up performing like the 200HP 3.8 in the 4th gens. Though I will say that when I had a 98 3.8 Camaro it moved very well for being a V6. The 2010's are a bit heavier than the F-Bodies & Mustang. The V6 is a great car if performance doesn't matter but when you want performance you've have to go with the SS.

jvmax · 09-03-2009, 06:02 PM

I think if you has the manual trans, you would think differently!! This v6 is a blast to drive with the manual. Oh, and the camaro is the most stylish car on the road today. Challenger--old news, mustang--really old news!!!

ahart04 · 09-03-2009, 06:04 PM

well there's sure no way it's bigger and more cumbersome than the 300C...yet you kept that.
