V6 Performance Question

Lots of reasons they were slower, but they were still slower. And the Camaro can do 2 things the Hemi could not do: Turn and stop

Do you need it that bad? Lets talk about the 300 to 500 payment for a moment here. Here's an example: I just cut my cable saving about $70 a month why because I watched literally 4 channels. I use to watch the UFC every single month even if i don't like the fights, that just stopped so that's another $55 a month. Do you see where I'm going? I am sure you can cut cost somewhere to afford the difference in price if you (a lot not America) really wanted the SS. Learn how to manage your money people!

i have always thought this. this is why america is where it is. way to many people now of days live pay check to pay check. buying things they cannot afford, getting loans. etc

i remember i read a thread a few days ago about somebody wanting to get a loan to do performance mods

Mike, let us not forget, this is what the U.S. economy is based on!! lol

Just spend, baby, spend!! Household savings are at an all time low,
more people truly believe they will have a better retirement by playing the lottery than by long term savings!!

...and when all else fails, Uncle Sam will provide you relief!! lol

But, hey, we gotta buy a car!! We have no choice in that!! lol

i have the same exact car, it's great i get around 30mpg on the hwy so i'd say that's rather good

No kidding. People are so dumb whatever happened to not having the money meaning you can't buy something? I had a credit card company increase my credit line by 500% two months after I got laid off from my job and I didn't ask them to do it. So many people see credit cards as free money.... Mine are emergency-only...

It's great. I drove a lot of V8s and V6s before deciding on the V6. Plenty of vroom to enjoy passes on the highway. Nice sound. No regrets.

If the wife has an SS, I'd just drive hers sometimes or get an SS. if you get the 6 you'll be jealous of her power. I couldn't handle that.

Then take a vote at how many trades a ss to a v6. Then let's talk!

I drove both and choose the 1LT and I can afford a SS and even a ZL1 with a nice down payment. But wanted to save the cash and be different. I like being a innovator and one of a kind! Look at me now lol. See you at the starting line at CFIII!!!

I'm going to try and make CGIII, too. If I don't get to see your car when I pick up Gretchen, hopefully I can see it in Indy!

If you buy it, you'll like it.

I bought a V6, had it a while and am still very happy with it. Not once have I floored it and had trouble doing what I expected out of it. Smash the pedal and it goes. Sure not as well as the V8, but non the less it goes and quite well.

Ride - Hands down the ride quality is better in a V6. I drove an SS and could not believe how harsh it was.

You will love whichever you get.

If it were me, I'd buy a hybrid truck http://www.chevrolet.com/silverado-hybrid-pickup-truck/?seo=goo_|_2009_Chevy_X-Div_Segment_|_Hybrid_Truck_Segment_|_Hybrid_Truck_ HV_|_hybrid_pickup&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cp c&utm_campaign=Segment-Chevy-Hybrid_Truck_Segment_-_Phrase&utm_content=Search&utm_term=hybrid_pickup

20/23 MPG isn't a great comparison from this Hybrid for 40k starting!!

Compared to the F350 Lariat we have right now for a truck, 20/23 is amazing. My wife drives a 2011 Cruze ECO and traded in a TDI Jetta. Different strokes for different folks.
