What's so special about the V6? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Its not the fastest V6 performance coupe out there, but it is not the slowest either. It easily looks the best, and handles just as good if not better than the rest. And aftermarket support is second only to the Mustang.

Mr incredible, we all know the speed limits. My goal, as soon as the good weather gets here, is to set a new personal speed record. 153 is the old and now that you keep harping on 65, that is now my new goal! Well, that's with a one in front. No I don't ever weave in and out of traffic or drive like a mad woman. I do have my spot though, and if there are NO cars in front, just a clear shot, I will open her up and go for my new target. Yes, you just may read about it in the papers/Internet (if something goes wrong) I would guess either in the "police log" or the obituaries. I do have a need for speed and I love the adrenaline high. If that's the way I go, remember that movie and they're dropping the bomb, the bomb door is stuck and pops opens so he rides the bomb down hoot'n and hollering yahoo! That will be me! Like Tom hanks said "there's no crying in baseball" yeah I'm willing to risk it all for the high!

I don't even know what to say to this. You know nothing about business, the automotive world, or apparently, according to your last post, common sense. I'm glad you don't live in my state...

Yeah, going that fast on a public road is sheer stupidity.

We have the "Texas Mile" here in Texas. It's a 1 1/2 mile straightaway made so cars can get up to over 200mph. If you must get your car up to 150+, I'd suggest doing it at a place like that that is designed for it.

Already retired, easily 10 to 20 years younger than most Retirees. So I do know a little about running a business successfully. Never been in accident. Only speed when I'M THE ONLY ONE ON THE ROAD. Definitely gana try out the texas hi-way. Mr incredible, Sorry for your lost, especially at such a young age, but I had nothing to do with it and like I said I never speed unless I'm the only vehicle on the road. Depending on whom you know, you can always get a section of road temporarily closed so you're the only person on the road. I take responsibility for all my actions.

Couple of things. First, have you heard of the Texas Mile??? Second, how can you bring a dead person back to life? You may think you are alone, but can you ever be certain???

I have, you can't, and there are no certainties in life.

You can be certain that you won't kill someone else speeding if you don't speed.

I'm done here.

If you are serious you should not be allowed to drive a motorized vehicle on a public road. Take the car to the track.

Isn't mind boggling...the thought process of some out there?

scrming · 02-20-2013, 06:23 PM

Looking at 2013 specs...

Yes, the V6 Camaro make more HP... 323 HP to 305 HP... However, Mustang basically same torque! So with the Mustang being lighter and a live axle vs independent, it is going to be faster in the 1/4 mile..

V6 Camaro torque : 278@4800 RPM
V6 Mustang torque : 280@4250 RPM

And that 2010 Mustang GT that had only 300 HP, it has 325 fl/lbs of torque! (@4250 RPM)
