That was something I didn't like about my last car. It was an Eclipse SE, decked out with the spoiler, ground effects, etc. It looked fast, but alas, it was only a 4 banger. The V6 Camaro may not be an SS, but I'd say it has a decent amount of performance to back up its looks--would definitely destroy my old car. You're right about the V6 stang and challenger though, they're really not that fast

Just to Clarify, the V6 Mustang is the fastest of all three.

people have to realize that it happens to all of us with sports cars. see the problem with the v6 challenger, v6 camaro, and mustang v6 is that they look fast, but really not that fast, and people will wanna race.
I some how can't help but feel like I've just been insulted... I'm very happy with the performance of my V6 thank you. I owned a 350Z before this and I feel it's performance is right on par with it. Let's not turn this into "That thread". It was just an amusing story that I wanted to share with everybody.

Someone needs to teach these little Mustang drivers, "We don't street race and risk killing other people." I'm seeing so many of these stories and it's always a Mustang, it seem that the drivers of these vehicles are typically the immature idiots that don't know anything about location, location, location. Man, I applaud you for keeping calm when he rode your bumper, and resisting temptation when he pulled off.

I agree!!! The V6 has more power than anyone should ever need unless they are racing it / running it at a track.....

While I will say not all Mustang drivers are tool boxes -- I seem to see MORE tool boxes driving Mustangs then not....

I kinda feel bad for those few that aren't total d-bags....they end up taking the flame for the majority....

Course - when you have 5 billion of them everywhere you go -- odds rise dramatically that a docuhebag, or eleventy million, will be driving one...

Need, want, enjoy and love are four different words and meanings.

If we all really want to get technical we all dont "need" anything more than about 200HP
