That is all..
A silly poll won't help. The amount of times this comes up as a topic just proves the point that, if magically, a V8 would appear in their current V6 Camaro, they'd be happier.

95% would not wish it away.
5% may bitch about paying a little more in gas.

Why because they could get on a onramp a little faster? Or is it more of a ego strock, "I got the SS look at me"?

On a day to day basis, I bet you don't drive any faster then I do, you could but you don't lol

LOL, another I know more about what you want than you do guys...
Where are your statistics to back up your claim? so far according to this pole, if you weed out the ones that shouldn't have voted in the first place over 90% of V6 owners would dissagree with you...

There is no magic when one can see what they can afford. The base LS is in the reach of many people who can not responsibly purchase a V8.

I know of a young couple with 2 young children who could get into a LS because of the price. They could care less how fast it goes. They are not unhappy because it doesn't have a V8. They enjoy the car. Isn't that what it's all about? I'm done here.

Absolutely satisfied with my V6! This was my first new car and I bought it not long after graduating college so the LS pricing was perfect for me.

I can afford a V8, have owned V8s, I wanted a V6. Do I plan on some mild mods? Hells yes, sleepers are sweet! Its a daily driver and lets face it, I am too old to be out racing with you young whippersnappers!

Thanks, Some of these guys just will never admit that the majority of V6 buyers bought the car for the reason that they have no use for the V8 power.. They just can't grasp the notion that anyone would want something they don't..
I just don't understand what their problem is.. I surely can understand their justification for buying a V8, why can't they understand ours for not buying one?

Not voting, since I traded mine. I had bought the V6 because I thought it would get better gas mileage. My only complaints were the torque and the brakes.

I don't have those two problems now. But, I do have a bigger problem with the V8... I may end up spending 2/3 the cost of the 2LT on mods for the 2SS

Couldn't be happier, kept my payments down, gas mileage good (for now), and allowed me more money to do all sorts of badass mods to it and have fun with it. The car is great.

I LOVE my V8.....could not care less what type a person buy's. They spend their money on something they want, I spend mine on something I want. I personally like the torque of the V8 manual over the driving experience I had while testing the V6.

This is a pointless poll.....like asking people to argue about what ice cream they like. It's ice cream...how bad can any of it be? It's my money, I buy what I want. It's your money, buy what you want. I'm not racing you, I'm just enjoying what I have.

but that same misguided logic goes for the V8 owners as well. if magically, an LS7, or LSA, or LS9, or whatever motor would appear in their current SS camaro at no cost, they'd be "happier".

but you dont have people telling you that you are stupid for wanting one flavor of ice cream over another.

I am happy with the performance... I should have reconsidered my choices in exterior and interior packages. That I suppose can be pieced together. I have considered getting a V8, but trying to tell my girlfriend she is going to have to pick some more bills and get a part time job is tough...

Not too mention someone would have to find me an ABM SS.

I basically asked myself this question...

"If the 304 HP V6 was a 304 HP V8, would you get the 304 HP V8 or the 426 HP V8?"

My answer was the 304 HP V8. Which means that if I had have bought the V8, it would have been solely vanity. I couldn't muster up the extra $7,000+ for vanity.

And they ended up giving us another 8 HP... Haha.
