^true that. You need to do what will make you happy. It is your car. Check out some of the threads, I'm sure you will find what it is you are looking for.

If you are so concerned with performance, y did you buy a v6 in the first place?? Your v6 is nothing to be ashamed of. All Camaros are bad ass cars that many envy. No ones going to give that guy in the camry a second look. He isnt going to get questions about his car, thumbs up, stares, or hot chicks phone numbers Enjoy your car for what it is. Set it apart with cosmetic mods. A good exhaust & CAI is a def must. Those are simple mods that add a lot to the car. Besides you have to be careful with performance mods, they will void your warranty.

Easy answer, don't street-race. There will always be a faster car than yours so don't worry about it.

I'm not really sure I'd consider the V6 a "muscle" car. Just saying...

It doesn't change your car and you should be happy with what you have and have more confidence than worrying about what other people's cars are doing

Really, 312hp is damn good power. I remember Mustang GT's in 02' only had 245hp. Not sure what Camaro's had, I thought it was like 310hp. Anyways, I know that was then but think about all those "then" cars still on the road you could smoke.

Now Steve, we learned yesterday that us v8's and v6ers got to stick together because in the end were still rockin' a fly jersey.

And nothing to crazy lol. And no I'm not gunna get an SS anytime soon so don't say it .
Lol thanks guys
Will a canary do 154mph? Guess it might. Will a Camry have kids pointing at your car, bet it wont

WELL IDK HOW TO RESPOND DIRECTLY TO THE GUY WHO SAID WHY I GOT A V6. BUT HERE IS WHY. I AM 16. CANT AFFORD AN SS. LOL ALSO THESE MODS ARE FOR DOWN THE ROAD. I WAS JUST SURPRISED AT CARS I WOULD NEVER EXSPECT TO BE FAST, COMPETEING CLOSELY WITH MY CAR. THATS ALL THERE IS. AND TRUST ME IF I COULD AFFORD THE MONTHLY PAYMENTS FOR AN SS I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN ONE OR A GT.
