Thats the problem, I think people need to realize that within the next year, both the Camaro and Mustang V6 will have enough power to match or beat LS1 cars, stock for stock.

Really, I think people need to be open minded.

My first impression when I drove my dad's 08 CTS with 3.6 DI was right away how nice that engine would be in pony car setup. For a V6 it pulls hard. Once they start increasing the output, I don't think having a V6 will be such a bad thing to enthusiasts looking for a bargain muscle car.

Wow, a lot has gone on since I last checked this!

First off, Thank guys.

And just to clarify the whole V6 purchase:

It is my wifes car.
Gas mileage
Payments
It has plenty of power but not too much that will get me in trouble when I drive it!
And as Nick has already stated, I only need one fast car.

I usually do the wrong thing and go crazy with a car that is out of my budget. It is a new Camaro, that alone is enough for me. I will be able to drive it and enjoy the V6, if I got the V8 it might be more fun but I couldnt enjoy it knowing I have a payment I cant handle.

I hope that helps.

Why? Everyone I know loves that color...and wasn't it a late addition to begin with?

BigAls87Z28 10-23-2009 12:54 AM

Dunno why, just gettign rid of it. Cars like this have colors that are only a year long color.

Well that blows, it seems that color is extremely popular. Are they gonna can the camaro soon too? lol

BigAls87Z28 10-23-2009 06:19 PM

Nah, GM does this all the time witha lot of cars.
GTO had several different colors that changed out every year
So does Corvette. The colors add to the rarity of the car I guess?
Statisticly...silver is the color of choice for all cars, followed by black.
I assume that since Impala is getting cut down, and that at least two more cars are moving to Oshawa, that they are going to add different colors.
We might see like a Jetstream Blue, or soemthing else. Maybe a LeMans Blue?
