Stop?? Why? Because it blows apart anyone who bags on the V6? People hate hearing it because it;s true.. lol... No one says those old cars are slow. No one says to their owners "Just go buy a new Hellcat if you want to go faster"...

I disagree, my penis size has doubled, if not tripled in size when I purchased my SS.

The comparison is valid. Current V6 performance is great. There is no reason to bash them or make fun of them. Nor is there any reason to discourage someone from modifying them.

How would you like it if every time you mentioned modifying your V8 Camaro, if someone said.. well, just go buy a Corvette, or a Ferrari? It's pointless and a stupid thing to say.

A line I cannot deny? That's called a cop out my good man. You think I honestly care how a v6 stacks up against a v8 from 50 years ago? I'm 27. That's like saying I can beat my granpa in a foot race, he's old, out dated and irrelevant to the word fast this day in age. Your argument is pointless and your comparisons are erroneous. Good day sir.

Your analogy makes no sense... Your grandpa is a lot slower now than he was 50 years ago. The 1968 327 Camaro is not. I'll say it again, because it's true - The current 5th gen V6 makes more power than the 1968 327 V8. Yep, it's a line you cannot deny and you know it. It's not irrelevant. It's true! That's why you're saying goodbye.

I own an SS. I love the car and the engine. I just get sick of seeing people tell V6 owners to buy an SS every time they ask about a mod. It's stupid.

Or as I have told someone I know that dives a Corvette, "What is the difference between a Corvette and a Porcupine?", The Porcupine has the prick on the outside!

TXLS3 · 02-17-2015, 05:11 PM

Lol that's the same comparison you bonehead. The 68 camaro is a lot slower TODAY than it was 50 years ago.. Just like my grandpa. 50 years ago the 1968 Camaro SS was a fast car, now it is not at all. So your bragging a 2010v6 is faster than a slow ass 1968 v8 car.

TPAJETSKI · 02-17-2015, 05:18 PM

I don't think comparing cars 40 years apart is very useful. Heck I had a new Trans Am with 190 hp back in 85 that was pretty darn quick for its day (still my favorite car ever). Other than Corvettes and exotics I don't think anything made much more than 210 hp. Now a new Camry with a full trunk of groceries would outrun that 85 T/A. That fact doesn't take anything away from the T/A or give any credit to the Camry. It's more an indication of what advances in technology and efficiency engineers have made over the last 40 years.

KaBoom1701 · 02-17-2015, 05:21 PM

Well my answer was coming from a old V6 owner myself...

I really feel the IPF kit is the best bang for the buck when it comes to S/C the V6 and still have it as a DD. The Turbos are nice and you can get more HP numbers but it's been proven that once you pass the 500rwhp mark on the stock V6 drivetrain things start breaking...

Stealthpanda · 02-17-2015, 05:29 PM

That same 1968 327 has the same hp, but way more torque. /peenflex

See, now we can all act 5.

Texas_RS · 02-17-2015, 05:45 PM

Op, idk about the more hp part, but the vitesse throttle controller def gave my car more "go". Best bang for buck and its plug and play.

1968 Camaro weighs in at only about 2950 lbs... just sayin'

because the truth is you'll spend a ton of money on the V6, your resale value will take a big hit, you still won't have enough HP, and you'll probably move to a V8 car later anyhow.

for the price of some of these kits, you can probably switch to a similar V8 car.

I think the V6 Camaro is an awesome deal for the money. I'd personally do a few appearance mods and just enjoy it.
