With that being said...it is our job to educate him on the do's and don'ts of the 5th Gen and maybe we help create another great contributing member. We shouldn't be so quick to label someone a troll.

I agree. I'm not even going to read through 5 pages considering how the first few posts went.

To the OP, and probably already said. Cosmetically, there isn't a big difference between the V6 and the SS. On the '14+ you're talking the hood vent, Brembo brakes, and larger exhaust tips (I believe).

I have a V6, wish I had a SS. The V6 has alot of power, but pushing a V6 to its max makes you wonder how much easier it is to get that power from a V8.

The V6 is a respectable car, with respectable power. After 4 years though, Im ready for a V8 in a sports car.

Buy a car you like, and be proud of it. I was in Costco the other day, and they had a beautiful 2015 mustang on display. It was yellow. I could easily see that in my garage next to my Camaro.

I can't count the number of SS's running around with Z28, ZL1 and 1LE parts ... But hey that's none of my business. Mod your car how you want. IMO parts are fine, just leave the badges on the shelf.

6th Gen boys are really gonna have their panties in a bunch when the 4 bangers are looking like SS's and Zs...

Agree, parts are fine, badges are not, simple.... Maybe someone should make a "clone" badge !

Remember he's in Canada. He hasn't realized it's easy to buy a car in the US and drive it home to Canada yet, but maybe he'll figure that out. I've helped friends do that many times... it's just paperwork.
I think you're supposed to post in French and English though when dealing with our Canadian friends.

anyone trying to make their car look something it's not should be given a public flogging

Thankfully, badge swapping seems less common among Camaro owners than Mustangs. I've owned 3 Mustangs and love them, but I can't stand seeing Cobra emblems on a V6 (it's always a V6 too).

That being said, it's your car. Do whatever makes you happy.

It's just a badge...

Thing is, people who don't know about cars aren't impressed by the badge since they don't know the difference in what it represents.

So people that know , don't care.....the guys that do know will call you on it. I don't see the point of doing it.

I love how angry people get over A badge. Funny....

I don't care if someone puts a zl1 badge on their toilet bowl.
