If I have to hear "You should have got a V8" one more time....

I'm HAPPY with my V6! This puts out the power that a lot of V8's did back in the day and even just a few years ago. Plus, I like the better fuel economy.
Not only that, but with far less money than the extra 6 grand for the V8 (intake, headers, NOS is about 3 grand), I can get 400hp out of it...

So next time, please, just STFU if you feel a muscle car that is a V6 is worthless.

Rant off.

Don't pay attention to that crap. You know your car is badass and that's all that matters.

just go to the other site for the v6's only, if it bothers you that much.

I'm past it.

Yeah I agree, people with an SS why didn't you get a Mustang GT it's faster? Or a Corvette its faster. There's always something faster, so I don't really care what they say, the ones that do say it just sound arrogant. I'm glad I'm not driving an SS with the way gas prices are now..

Well, to be honest...*I* would have bought an SS if I could have afforded it. I could give two sh*ts about fuel economy. If I cared about that I would have bought a Cruze, lol.

But I bought what I could afford and while I still love it, I won't lie when I say I look longingly at a V8 Camaro whenever I see one...as much as I love my LS, she's getting traded in for an SS the moment I can afford one. In a heartbeat.

Saw King Diamond for the "Them" tour back in '88 and then Mercyful Fate for their comeback "In the Shadows" tour in '94.

Been a Mercyful Fate/King Diamond fan since '85...my favourite band of all time!

Named my Camaro Melissa after the album. Did you hear that King Diamond is recovering from triple bypass surgery? He's doing well now.

Yeah, he actually lives about 15 min. from me here in TX. I actually have a "Them" tattoo. I wish Mickey Dee had not left to play with Motorhead..oh well. Motorhead is cool too.
