Sanjay the low end sound is really mind numbing lol.. sounds fantastic up top but down low a little too deep and booming

I'm surprised it's not raspy at all which I figured it would be.. if I can tone down the low end I will be happy maybe

Since my car is a daily driver, the v6 offers me the perfect balance of fuel economy, good power, and of course the main draw to most of us is the overall look of a Camaro.
I'm on your side too, Ritchet. My first car was a 1970 Chevy Nova, and I was in love with it, but today's cars (especially the Gen 5) are better in every respect. I have never enjoyed driving a car more than my Camaro!

I agree I've built a 70 nova with my uncle would be worth 25k today but in the 90s who would have thought. . Sold it built a 78 z28 383 stroker my first build on my own.. then a 74 maverick stroked 302 nos motor and a 98 mustang gt cam and heads.. my 5th gen might not be faster but it's a hell of alot of fun and a great car

Fast is a matter of money. A great car is a feat of engineering and experience. For the price, nothing beats the gen 5 Camaro, whether v6 or v8.

That is a nice resume. I am coming from a z28 ls1 and still love this little 3.6. However my camaro does family duty 20% of the time so it needs to be somewhat tame. Are those super 10s a lot louder than stock inside? How is the drone? Thanks for the clips.

Night and day between the stock mufflers they sound great on the top end or just revving out leaving a stop light but low end is very deep from a light.. no rasp and a touch drone but I was surprised the freeway they weren't bad it's mostly from take off because they're so deep .. I honestly didn't expect them to be as deep as they are.. how they sound in the video with headphones on is how it is always lol

I am totally satisfied with my little V6 'Maro. It's a perfect blend of power, handling and style. And, you can't beat it for the price that I paid...$18.8k. Since I don't really like how the new 6th gens look, I am glad I was able to get a new 5th gen and l plan on keeping it for a very long time.
