OP has the LLT, so 312 HP.

Sixjax Camaro is the best sounding V6 exhaust set up to me. When I had a v6, I had Borla Atak(V8 version) that I loved, and got lots of compliments on, people thought I had headers as well, but I didn't. Check it out on YouTube if you want.

It's not a Camaro. It's a toy that looks like a Camaro.

Second, if they had put the LF4 in the Vette I would own one today. Performance is performance. When you go to the strip (right, like that will ever happen), be sure to line up against a ATS-V or a GT-R. Tell us about how superior you are with those extra two cylinders.
You're missing the point. I'll say it again. "312 HP in a 3780 LB car that does the quarter in 14.5 seconds is not a performance car by any stretch of the imagination in 2015 AD." An ATS-V and the GT-R is turbocharged putting out far more than 312 HP and probably lighter than 3780 LBS. Those cars aren't underpowered. They ARE performance cars.

BTW, I already have a Jag. This is my second car. I wanted to not have a monthly payment for something to play around with so I started out not wanting to spend more than 15k. But it soon became obvious that for a measly 10k more I could have a 2SS RS and a convertible. If I were to stick with that 15k budget I would have bought a used Cadillac ATS. Or even a Hyundai Sonata. Because you see the ATS still IS a luxury car. The Sonata IS an economy car. The LT Camaro is NOT a performance car. Understand? Guess not. I give up. I'll stop educating "trolling" you.

Not missing the point. 14.5 seconds is the slowest magazine time recorded. The fastest is 14.1. On average magazine times are around 14.3 seconds. That's much faster than most cars on the road. I'm pretty confident you can't beat 14.3 in your vert SS automatic.

400 hp in a 4100+ lb car is not a a performance car by any stretch of the imagination in 2015 AD.
See what I did there???

Again, your lack of knowledge is simply amazing. Both are turbocharged. They are performance cars, as is the Camaro. Chevrolet lists ALL Camaros in their performance car section, and all magazines call them performance cars in their reviews. Some cars have more performance than others. Yours isn't that far up the scale of performance, so I wouldn't be looking down your nose at anyone.

Wait, you exercised self imposed moderation instead of going in debt? But in the last thread where you bashed fellow Camaro owners you said...

Still I just can't grasp the concept of self imposed moderation. However I'm glad other people do. More for me.

Coincidentally this thread just popped up... http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=426010

Make up your mind!

You shouldn't have got a vert. WTF were you thinking by getting a vert. It's not a performance car. It's meant for cruising thru the country side. Are crazy for getting vert? How dumb to get a convertible that's supposed to be a performance car!

^^^ That's how dumb and limiting your comments sound ^^^

The SS V8 isn't the end all be all.
Speaking of McLaren. This belongs to a LTJG at my duty station. It's his daily driver.

That was epically savage. Just so there is no more argument about if it is a performance car, as the previous post states, Chevrolet lists ALL camaros under the PERFORMANCE category of their website. Since the maker of the car lists it as a performance car, they are correct and so are most of us in saying that it is a performance car. End of conversation. You can't argue with the manufacturer.

But apparently there are those who feel different. Sorry for the direction the thread took OP. Check out the v6 bolt-on threads for what you need. Thread lock imminent.

Man this thread is full of good and bad info. ..some I agree with some I don't. When I looked for a performance car in camaro form. ..it was the ss. I have seen it with guys I work with that have bought v6....most people wonder why they didn't get the V8. Most people do not look at the v6 as a performance car. It's a good car but not in the same class as far as people's opinions are concerned that I see and hear. Like a few members have shown....there are a ton of mods for the camaro so its all good. Lets keep in mind there are v6 performance cars out there.....but the v6 camaro being compared to them isnt fair.
