Thats why i did this, more V6's and people have done Mods and there is More to come. It would be nice if people who want it would just do it and those who don't go some place else. BE A HELP NOT A HINDER!!!!

There simply is not going to be a huge number of heavily modded V6 Camaro... The only way you would see enough demand is if you could offer some nice gains to the people that are stock or very lightly modded... and that isn't going to happen..
You are a Hinder. So you got a Truck and no longer have a Camaro why be a jerk. Grow up and find something nice to say. This is the problem this website is facing. People bashing on those that are trying to help. It sounds like you need to find "Jesus", my friend.

Now, Move along and let us be...

Show me where I bashed anyone or anything... I am simply defending my position. It's called debating... Just because I don't agree with someone, doesn't mean I'm bashing...

And perhaps you need to review the early days of the 5th Gen. V6... I think you'll find there was no bigger proponent for the 3.6L than me...

And just because I sold my Camaro doesn't mean I've forgot everything I know/learned about the car..

I don't want to get involved in the Trifecta vs. other suppliers war, but objectively speaking I'm sure there are some people that would appreciate a cheaper alternative for simple tunes i.e. recalibrating the speedo, getting rid of the CEL after longtubes, etc. Some people have held off on long tubes because of the CEL and not everyone has the extra $400ish to spend to clear the CEL but maybe they could afford $150-200.
Regardless I think for now those of us that want to be optimistic should continue to do so and ride it out and see what happens. As for those of us who don't want to be optimistic, what would it hurt to simply request a product, maybe the results would surprise you and maybe you could just sit back and say I told you so....only time will tell. The reason we are on this forum is because we are enthusiasts who share a passion for the 5th Gen Camaro regardless of what we own now or owned before, and I think we all should respect each others' opinions and work together to at least make an attempt to broaden the aftermarket choices. If Vince can do everything he has done then I'm sure if other companies tried hard enough they could come up with something....

Just my .02

Careful who you are bashing. Member scrming did more for the V6 community than anyone for a very long time. He is still an active member and contributor to the V6 cause, here and on other forums.

I'm not saying you can't have an objective opinion versus anyone else on this forum no matter how long they've been around...of course you can. Just felt you should know this.

Agree with KM here...

Darth Camaro - Please be considerate in what you say to the lot of us who have been working on these cars for a lot longer than you have. At this time last year, we didn't have a proven CAI or LT options. Scrming, Mrray13, ROD1, HDRS, 67 GTO, devildoc, beawulf, others and myself included spent a lot of time and effort to make our V6s as fast as possible. Hell scrming was the first guy to try anything and 67 GTO is about to buy his 6th CAI...LOL.

Just because scrming traded in his Camaro for a truck, doesn't make him any less of a enthusiast than the rest of us. I know 2 guys on this forum, one is a mod, who did not even have a 5th gen until recently.

I personally respect your wishes, but please none of us are bashing anyone or company. We are raising questions to make you guys aware of whats out there.

I'm confused on what you call" work"?!?.... Running around blowing hard in forums is not work. I've had mine a year, and without even caring about any forum, I found every mod you all have , and a couple of more... now , when I install these 3.73 SS gears that showed uo on my door yesterday, are you going to stand on the shoulders of the first guy who did that, and tout how because it was talked about by everyone, that the " work" was done hereon the forums? I don't care how much you email a company, you didn't do " work ". I completely agree with what he said. It's a Hinder to us, and I don't care how long you all have been talking about "work", until its in your car, you did nothing but talk about it.

Rod1 does " work". You all installed parts.

That was possibly the most entertaining post I've seen a while... LOL!

Let me... see.. who worked with MRT to develop their axle back system, both V1 and V2... That would be me. Who shared the recipe with for V1 with the rest of the forum member so they could build their own if they wanted... that would be me....

And did a lot of videos for the exhausts... that would be me...

Who did the research into heat soak and did a complete write up on relocating your IAT sensor... that would be me...

Who did Airaid turn to to help resolve their original intake issues... that would be me...

Who did a complete an Injen write up, including a dyno sheet AND time slips... that would be me...

Who has responded to everyone that has ever asked for any kind of help or advice... that would be me...

So... needless to say, i've done my fair share of work...

OMG!! What is this your either with me or against me crap the last few days?!?!! Is this not a forum where we network and try to help each other with pros and cons to everything? People that have been here for awhile definately have a lot to offer even if it isn't what you want to here. That said ALOT more cars have been sold in the last year and maybe the ROI (return on investment) is better a year later. The companies won't know if we don't try at least once a year. Doesn't hurt. Just don't get your hopes up and if it works it is a bonus.

Peace

Again, you talked, someone else did the work. I'm not as impressed with you as you are. I'm surprised the company didn't call that exhaust scrming. Funny! I got a Ford truck too. Does that make me the one who built it? Keep talkin about something, you no longer have, and didn't actually turn the wrenched on, and I will respect you more.
