I'm pretty sure those 11-12 Auto's with 3.31's were a dealer option or the car was ordered that way.

They weren't something Ford rolled out of the plant.

Nope, was on the window sticker, edmunds listed it as an option, but can't remember the price off hand.

EDIT: According to Edmunds the 3.31 rear w/limited slip is a $395 seperate option on both the 12 and 13 models.

I stand corrected. Certainly wasnt an option when I shopped for my 2011. I ended up with 3.73's anyway!

Thanks though.

It's all good, bet those 3.73s give it much torquier feel from a stop.

The other thread went downhill fast... 6 pages deep. Correct information helps this case... Cheers.

Yeas we just decided to discuss things in a civil manner. If there's disagreements throughout then we'll just sort out those issues. Give respect, you get much respect.

It also helps when mustang owners are aware of what they are allowed to be here for. To appreciate the camaro as both a competitor and fellow American pony car. I would battle v6 camaro and v6 and r/t chargers/challengers all day at the strip and talk much smack.

But as soon as a Hyundai Genesis or Nissan 370z owner or similar rolled up talking down on American muscle, we'd be be rock paper scissoring as to who will let them know what's up. And i'd be damn proud if it was a bad ass Camaro

Im not too much of a h8r. Few mustang colors I love, the dark blue, and your blue :P Black obv and any, if avail, bright shade of red. Too much of a Camaro guy at heart to own one though. Nothing wrong with a friendly test drive one day, though.

Cheers!

May I ask, when shopping in the V6 category of these kinds of cars, is being fast or faster for that matter that critical? The reason I ask is I saw a stunning V6 Camaro this weekend at the dealer with under 50 KMs on it as it was a casino win traded on a SUV. And frankly at the price asked and the look of the car, not much could beat it on a style/value basis. I'm seriously thinking of picking it up, and really don't care whether anything is faster or not. It's just damn sexy looking.

I don't think so. I go to the drag strip because I enjoy it and compete with cars in my class. Mostly, I race against myself, the car and my last best time.

I have no delusions of being faster than a stock V8 or any other car for that matter.

I went from 14.5 two years ago to now a mid 13 second car and it's been a fun ride with not that much money spent.

The slow V6 can be fun for some of us.
