Since when is a 300+ hp muscle car considered settling? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

For godsake the 2010 v6 camaro is 94 moe hp than the 2010 v6 mustang!!! even the mustang 2010 GT is 315, and with around $1500 my 2010 v6 Camaro will have more hp than the GT mustang!!! haha

who cares what other people think about the car. you are buying a car for you not them. i test drove the v6 camaro and that thing moves!!!!! and it handles very well!!!!! what does your friends drive???? a honda? poo stang??? pinto???

Who cares what everyone else thinks? There IS NO "LITTLE" Camaro! Just HOT and HOTTER! ANY 2010 Camaro is a hell of a car. Let the fanboys rant all they want. They can go put their little wings and cheezy stickers on and make themselves feel all cool.
You don't have to get what they want and be just another drone. YOU don't have to get along. It's your money. Buy what you want.
Let 'em hate on you. That's OK. Just don't hate on 'em back. You'll get ostracized for Truth.

You've got a state of the art musclecar...they don't. That's the core of it.

Ditto, but realistically, do you have the funds to support the V8 habit? I would personally like to go on roadtrips w/ the V6, and the still have enough for hotels along the way..
Had a Pontiac Firebird w/ a 6.6L 403ci and only 255hp?! So it's a def step up. Besides, I plan on squeezing more hp(325-350) when the time is right.

When you start showing the gt rustangs your rear end those guys wont give you shit anymore !

Supermans · 06-13-2009, 09:29 PM

The v6 camaro looks nicer in some ways to me. Don't listen to those folks. With that said, the v6 is girly car while the v8 is a real mans car

. Kidding. But even if I said it, who cares, it's all about what you want. By the way, if u aren't driving a stick and don't have a mullet, then you look like a sissy while driving any ss camaro too. See how silly that sounds. LOL

Hemlawk · 06-13-2009, 09:30 PM

Its all history guys. All v6/straight 6 Camaros/Chevelles/Novas/Montes were slow dogs back in the day. Even the 4th gen v6's were fairly slow with 200hp (not to bad though). Besides the v8 is HIGHLY upgradeable, making is a sick street car.

But until people see for them selves that the 3.6 has a mean punch, things wont change.

At first I realised I had to settle for the v6 due to finances, but now I can't wait to get the LT! I prefer the LT over the SS now due to its daily driver-ability with a kick!

All hail the might V6

THE EVIL TW1N · 06-13-2009, 09:30 PM

The v6 is settling when the v8 is offered. No way around it. And it really doesn't matter how much HP it has, the v6 has a hard time matching my old '87 5.0 notchback that I ran 14.2's @ 98 bonestock.

Your 5.0 was highend back then too. I'm sure the Camaro would have better times, minus 400 lbs... lol

trudawg660 · 06-13-2009, 09:38 PM

i get this sometimes. there is always someone that will try to put you down because you are doing more than them. you could have a twin turbo with 600hp but you will still find a person that will say "well its still a v6". the hate factor with this car is crazy, i am the first military member on my base to have one, can just imagine what is being said behind my back.

attymf · 06-13-2009, 09:55 PM

I dunno guys.....400+ HP and TQ. I am reading this thread but cant imagine anything but a V8.
