VERY happy with the V6 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Have had the car a week now and I must say the V6 is a blast to drive.

I can't imagine what the V8 is like cause the V6 has a real nice kick to it.

Car has much more get up and go than my 330 HP 350 I put in my '77 .... and the gas gauge does not move proportionally with the tach.

Anyone pondering whether the V6 is enough or not, IT IS. I have a 6 spd manual and this is by far the most fun of any car I have ever owned.

to everything you said! And congrats on getting your car.

I took my manual V6 to the track for the first time last night, very happy with the results - 15.54, within a second of GM's advertised 14.5. And that's with me, a newbie at racing.

Details here, if anyone's interested.

We love our V6. It rocks!!!! It is by far the coolest Camaro to date! All the bells and whistels work and it looks great...

I agree, My 77 V8 was nice but after getting into my new V6--So much more fun to drive. I guess it's true about the appreciation of gas mileage when you travel light years.
