Is the V6 Consisdered a muscle car? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I beg to disagree on it being a muscle car. Don't get me wrong...I don't hate the V6.

Muscle cars, in my opinion are V8 engines with lots of torque and horsepower. Though the new V6's can get decent horsepower, they just don't have the torque.

Modern cars are far different than the older cars. I always considered the muscle cars of the days of old to be V8 engines, whether small block or big block (preferably big block).

I've not seen anything about this, but I'm curious...how long of a burnout does a stock LT lay?

It's a CAMARO, yes....tell your brother to have fun with his smart car.

Would you have felt different if you had bought the V6?? And to answer your question, Pretty long. I have already had to replace my back tires.

V6 is not muscle.

PoorMansCamaro · 05-06-2010, 07:05 PM

I consider the V6 not a muscle car. To me, muscle cars are high performance, rear wheel drive, with a large engine (v8).

the v6 cover's 2/3 of a muscle car...

Camaro Freak · 05-06-2010, 07:06 PM

The NEW V6 is!!!

If it's a Automatic then it's a muscle car. The manual is not.

Sounds like your brother is a jealous hater and trying to rain on your parade. Nice guy.
