I fully support your decision to buy a v6 1LE to piss off arrogant v8 and 1LE guys. I myself find z06 guys arrogant and lap them regularly on most tracks with my 1LE. Unfortunately, it always ends the same way. As I pull over after lapping them, and all of the hot chicks are flocking to me from the stands, my alarm clock goes off and I have to wake up.

This will make 5th gen guys feel better...2015 challenger scat pack...vs my camaro l99.
I had bald stock tires.....i represented well. This vid is 4 hours long...fast forward to the 3 hr 58 min 20 second part of the vid. Thats where we are lined up..its armdrop at a old airport. I also out run a 2011 mustang 5.0 at the 1 hour 55 min 29 sec mark.

Mr moderator, if the word arrogant is insulting then I withdraw that word and delete from previous posts
as a proud V6 owner I and others have put up with the V8 is better and lately the long 1LE thread as if it some form of the holy grail.
so I do think it is relevant that the facts be known that very soon there will be a V6 1LE capable of standing up to stock V8

I plan on leasing the new generation Camaro because I don't drive very far to and from work. Hopefully sales will spike soon and we can all have hope that the numbers will beat Ford! Here in the Bay Area I see so many new Mustangs.
Words!!

The facts are known. No one needs to "stand up" as it's not a battle against anything but insecurities...

And yes...accusing members of being arrogant as though you're on a crusade is against the rules. The "word" is not the problem, but the way you used it.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I find it awesome that a V6 and maybe a 4 cylinder will be called a 1LE. It opens up these types of cars to more people. And it will be very interesting to see a V6 1LE go head to head against the Ecoboost Mustang with PP.

1Canuck, the V6 is a very nice car, but prepare yourself when the 4 cylinder gets introduced. All of us can talk a little smack from time to time, but if you look at some other forum, some of the 4 cylinder folks, they hate V6's and V8's. Fun times ahead...

Very nice run, but to be honest I don't live my life comparing what I have to others

Everyone is allowed to live their own life their own way, just be sure to make decisions that make YOU happy and no one else. There is always going to be someone who makes more money, had more things, and has the faster car. No reason for me to try and compare my life to theirs because they're not comparable. However, I am happy as I can be and I love what I have in life

Also that comment isn't pointed directly at you, but in general in this thread.

It's turned into a lot of bench racing comparisons and grabbing for straws to back up rather pointless arguments. As long as you drive a Camaro you're fine in my books

I posted that vid to compare the 2016 running a scat pack ....and a 2011 running the same car. Thats all there was to that......not sure where the rest of your post came from. Maybe i should have been more clear of my intent.

^^^^^That looked like fun as hell!!

I see you guys are keeping the spirit aliiiiiiiive.

Picton Airport eh? :cigarette:

I think Sledge and I will be paying you folk a visit this spring/summer.:cigarette:

Hopefully 2016 Gen 6 sales will be healthy enough by then, so that we may actually see one in action.

We can all then congregate there, and then settle our wannabee, artificial disputes that are presented on here, out where it was meant to be done,

and that is on the track, with a babe armdropping.

That's what is missing there btw.
