What we really need for a numeric comparison over the internet is results. So, how about some 0-60, 0-100, and 1/4 mile times for that long list of Camaros? Wait, that sounds like a lot of work!

Sorry I don't have the time to put it all into a nice clean post, but the link below will take you to a page that has the HP, torque, 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times for basically every Camaro up through the 4th gen. You can see that as far as performance is concerned, our new V6 has PLENTY compared to the V8s of prior generations.

You have to note that those numbers would be faster if they were on todays tires. They were spinning on skinny bias tires.
My brother had a 396/375 Chevelle with a 4:11 and thought that the clutch was slipping, it was the tires. |

I haven't tested the new v8 yet but i know from the few other v6 and v8 models that the v6's are ever nearly as powerful. That being said, whether or not it has enough power depends on many factors: the driver, the location, roads, transmission, and all that good stuff. Yea i think the v6 is powerful enough, but don't try to compare it to a v8; compare it to other v6's. No it won't force you back on nice stretches of interstate or kick as hard when you floor it, but for the price and the and and weight its quite powerful. Most people don't have any reason to go fast, especially not on public roads (but we do it anyway cause it fun ). So through all of my ranting that didn't really have many points, yea it's powerful enough, just don't compare it to a v8

It's rather simple, if you have doubts that the 6 will be enough just get the 8.
I'm fine with mine. |

if you are driving a "normal car" or "van" then it's fast. If you already are in a sports car and want a camaro - go for the SS
