What is up with people hating on the V6? - Page 23 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Cause they don't like change.

The V6 is the much more reasonable daily driver car. The V8 doesn't get good gas mileage and its a pain to drive year round. You're limited in rim size for winter rims because of those big brembos. And how often do you need 400 horses on a daily commute? Sheeitttt how often do you need 312?

ahah ya right. a CAI will drop you down to 13s when most stock SS runs 13s... with over 100 more HP... i was running low 13s with a CAI on my SS... there no way a v6 can run that with just a CAI ... NO WAY

When people ask me about the v6 and v8
I just tell them, There is nothing really different between the cars
They will both do 155 mph, the v8 will just get you there quicker.
I really love my Camaro RS

Might be the driver? Realize that he said 13's, not low 13's, don't be ignorant. Also, you should realize that you are earning yourself quite a reputation around here. You may want to consider putting down that provebial shovel that you seemed so skilled at using.

That's only true if you have the V-6 with the factory 20" tires which I see you do. All other V-6 models are at around 118mph.

Low 14's on 93 I guess douable if a m6 car, high 13's with a cai I would think hard to do. 13.9-14 or so with headers, cai, 93 and catback and tune seems what most get.

Only cai? I dont know.

Don't forget the 2lt's with the factory 19's (Pirelli P-Zero 245/50 ZR19)

All Camaros are awesome. There's always gonna be haters, but we shouldn't be hatin' on each other

I've been having a great time so far with the 6. She's breathing a bit easier with an Injen intake and Corsa Catback. Now if only someone would release a supercharger for us. I must admit, I am a bit jealous that the V8-ers have so many options

How could I? I don't know they existed. Huh, you learn something new everyday.
So they have the same speed rating as the 20"?
