Not necessarily. Most people willing to drop 33k+ on the SS probably took the time to figure out whether or not they could afford the premium gas at today's prices plus a future increase. I live in Cali and I was well aware at the high gas prices I would be paying now and later when it goes up. No biggie for me.

Dude most people I've seed here who bought an SS drive way less the most of the V6 owners do. Some are Garage queens the others are weekend drivesr, AVG 17mpg when premium gas is 5 bucks will cause you to take the bus to work.

It's "seen" here. Now that we have that out of the way I will tell you that I've put 19,275 miles on mine since August and I average 18.4 mpg. That's with about 50/50 to 60/40 city/hwy driving. I knew about the recommended premium fuel for the SS before I pulled the trigger and I was fine with it. Maybe other people do have garage kings/queens or weekend warriors but there are quite a few of us that use our cars as DD's.

I drive 45 miles each way to work and have to get gas every 4th day. I still love my SS

For what it's worth, I absolutely love my 2SS. I ordered it and never even considered anything less. I wanted a monster and I got it

i would have to say that if i had bought an ss im sure i would be saying that i love my ss and im glad i bought it. im sure i would not have said i wish i had bought a v-6. but i did buy the v-6 because thats what i wanted and im glad i bought the v-6. i would not trade it in for a v-8. i think it would be silly for someone to say man i got the v-8 i should have gotten the v-6 unless they over spent. needless to say that they are both awsome cars.

Both are great cars and definetly choose the one for all the right reasons and needs as you will have to live with it for awhile.
I have the 2ltrs and after 28 years of driving v-8 Camaros I really had to think hard about the transition. I have had it for 5 months and do think it is a great car!!!! As I get older and dare say more practical the v6 made more sense to me for my situation. If the v6 wasn't this good I would have waited awhile and bought the v8 as I didn't really have to have the car at the time, as I have a 390/405 98 z28 m6 that can pull .96g sitting in the drive.
To compare the two the new one is better as a vehicle other then pure acceleration. It corners as good on the street or in the twisties although it obviously feels the extra 350 lbs. It is more comfortable, better mpg, more modern convenieces and luxery items and love the sun roof!!! The body structure cant compare as this car is from what I hear about as strong as GM makes, and no rattles!!! Add exhaust, headers and intake Like I did and lower springs plus sways if desired for better feel and handling and I don't know what else is needed!!!
If you use it as a daily driver you can save cash and have fun all at the same time, if you do want the v8,can afford it, never had one before or intend to race alot, this would be the car to have it in, for who knows how long the v8's will be around!
As stated either way you have two great choices and also the added feature of great looks. I have never had people taking pictures or video's of a car going down the freeway as they do this one, or sooo many thumbs up's and "man thats a nice Camaro" So pick the one best for you and enjoy!!!!!!

premium here is like 15 cents a gallon more.......


That's not breaking the bank for fuel.

I am going to the dealership today to test drive both.

I think he kind of hit the nail on the head here. If you want and can afford a monster get the SS. If you want something more affordable but with good power then get the LT or LS.

Seriously impressed with the V6. I might have my answer lol

Another nice thing about going V6 is having more money for mods like Sliker's cool stripes and the new STS Turbo: http://www.youtube.com/user/ZMadness1
You know you're going to mod anyway.

I had to get the V8 in my car. And I drive it alot too. We have a 3rd car, a 1998 Cherokee, but I like driving the Mustang so much I still drive it to work most of the time. I bought the car to enjoy it, not to just watch it sit in a garage and worry about how many miles it has on it.
