don't worry about it bro. Most of us V6'rs here are extremely happy with our cars. If some V6 members get buyers remorse and trade up, we're not gonna be insulted. Just like if some members here trade up to an 11' GT (or down in my opinion lol). It's they're choice, not gonna hurt anyone's feelings on the forum.

All I can say is make sure you buy the car you can live with. If you end up trading a car in in less than 1 year...do yourself a favor and save your cash. New cars are a waste of money. I just feel lucky I had the 25k to waste

Why knock the 6 owners ?
They bought a Camaro which fits their needs and budget.
There all Camaros.
Back off-- I thought this camaro5 site was to show RESPECT.

Some people....

Either way, congrats on the V8! I am still happy with the 6 banger.

i lost only 1000 dollars on my trade in with 10,000 miles on it. it was a 2lt/RS/IOM/Sunroof/Auto. he isnt lying. once the market is flooded with all the rental cars depreciation will be worst.

hope it's everything you thought it would be.

Congrats and have fun with more power!

2010SLVRBULIT · 07-15-2010, 11:36 AM

I might trade power-up, for a Z28...

ga0358 · 07-15-2010, 11:49 AM

I wouldn't trade mine in for a V-8 ANYTHING! She's an A6 ABM LS with Heritage wheels (get tons of comments on how COOL they are). My V-6 is probably the most POWERFUL engine I ever owned. I can't imagine why I'd need more power...Don't get me wrong, but it just seems like my little Camaro was built JUST for me..she's unique among Camaros, which are unique in their own right. VERY proud of her!!!!

I'm going to have this V6 paid off by 2012... and then getting either an 2012 SS or the Z-28. Haven't quite decided... still need more Z-28 info. This will still be my daily driver... the second car will be for play.

Cool! Congrats on stepping up to the engine of your choice!

The Dealership also gave me a VIP Card for some free Oil changes then they will discount them as time goes on ! !

Congrats on your new ride... You will really enjoy the new HUD and the added power!

By the way I take it you were in the Military if you’re getting a discount for it? If so Thank you for serving our country!! :flag2:

John Shields · 07-15-2010, 12:07 PM

Off-topic:

Do the military discounts apply to prior service? Because I didn't get any discounts. Probably wouldn't be much but anything is more than nothing.

Napper · 07-15-2010, 12:19 PM

wow , you did good! on the trade.

Cyber grey is ultra cool! I almost waited for one...But the Silver with rally stripe was in the showroom. Damn subliminal showroom music!!

Camaro8810 · 07-15-2010, 12:27 PM

Congrats! I really cant even begin to imagine how much power the 8 has. Im more than happy with what the 6 puts out. Maybe after this baby is paid off ill take the next step up.
