You have 323 horsepower. But best thing is to just not worry about what people think. That always seems to be the first question I get asked when people like my car... does it have the V8? It doesn't bother me anymore, I just say nope its a 6 and I love it.

Well they probably have a small PP so they wanna try to compensate for that by talking down smaller engines...

I believe the cheapest thing you can do for HP is nitrous...

Tell them what ever you want I love my V6. remember anybody who is talking crap generally is driving a P.O.S. and is jelious they don't have a great car like you do.

No idea! I just know it's cheaper that a supercharger or turbos. Make a post on here and people should be able to help you out!

I agree with all of the above........I have the V6. it has more power than you are ever going to need on the road, and when pedal to the medal slams my passenger back in the seat HA! Anyone who thinks this isn't enough power is not a very experienced driver/owner. Who cares..........ENJOY IT!

Spend less time caring what other people think and you'll find you'll be much happier.

You should sell your ZL1 and get a Z28.

One of the best responses I have been told to say is ask them what car they have or ask them what engine is in their camaro!

I have an automatic so I get shiz for not having a manual and I just respond with "Oh what transmission do you have in your camaro?"
