amen. I'm 20, 21 in november,and i just can't afford it right now. I suppose had i been working my *** off all these years i could afford one easy, but hey, ur only young once. I'll have it now for 2 years in february, meaning i got it when i was 19. I'd say it's definently a respectable ride for a teenager, hell, look at how many teens are driving v6 mustangs, and hondas, toyotas, maximas, etc. I'll take the camaro over any of those. I don't regret buying the car at all, it's something i can drive around that looks nice while i continue to save up for an ls1.

edit: this was in response to matt99camaros last post

 

If you take a look back at the posts and all my previous posts on other topics., you'll realize I didn't start any attacks or ****, but you'd better goddamn believe I'm not going to take any. As far as my comments on V6's in Camaro's I never debated that they're GM's bread and butter that kept the line going for as long as it did. But when I had a Chevy Corsica that could run heads up with a V6 Camaro, I'd call that a lack of horsepower on the Camaro's part. But then again as I stated, that was my OPINION. Of course it's a relative term, it's an opinion, it can't be applied factually. Then I have people talking **** about not being able to afford one. I'm 21, working 40 hours and going to college full time but it was worth it so I could get the LS1 and not the V6, simply because that was my OPINION. So, don't open up a discussion witha possiblility for open ended responses if you're not prepared to hear differing arguments. So go ahead put those body kits, SS wings and hoods on your V6's and think you're badasses. I'll go ahead and rank you all with the those Honda *******s that plaster their V-Tech **** all over the place or the 4.6 liter Mustang crowd that think their bone stock Mustang is the fastest thing in the world. I maynot have a 700 horse Viper or Vette, but the LS1 is still a stout hearted mother****er and should be the type of engine they put in Camaros andTrans Ams, you know those so called sports cars. But whoops, there's my opinion, wonder what ******* that's going to rub the wrong way this time. As for a warning, forget it, I'll simply move on over to LS1Tech where I don't encounter a ****storm of hippocracy, well at least not yet. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going out to "trash" the F-body name, ****ing *******s.

 

That one mademe laugh. Yeah, peple give me compliments on my car all the time. I feel lucky to be driving such a nice car, but I've got an itch for an LS1 that needs to be scrached. I've never had anyone except Z28/SS drivers say, you got the V6 in there?

And actually putting the V6 in the Camaro dosen't go against why the Camaro was created. It was created to make money, plain and simple. They needed somethingto compete with the Mustang so they wouldn't have the total share of that market. They didn't make it thinking about how much you would get your jollies driving a 300hp car, they could care less, as long as they got your money. The Mustang had V6's, so the Camaro had to have a V6. They would lose a huge chunk of the market if they was no V6 Camaro

 

Jesus Christ, when are people going to start actually reading and comprehending what I post. For the last time, I NEVER ARGUED ABOUT THE MARETABILITY OF A V6 IN A CAMARO. What I said, now let this sink in real ****ing clear, was that I PERSONALLY would never buy a Camaro or a Trans Am with a V6. To me a Trans Am and Camaro should be show and go. When I come up to Firebirds and RS's I don't start giving them ****, I'm not out looking for a fight, hell I don't even start **** with the crappy little ricers. But you asked why they go for so much less and I gave you a reason, which happened to be my opinion. You like your Camaro with a V6 that's fine, I really don't give a ****, you know why? Because I respect your opinion that at the moment all you can afford is a V6 but still want the Camaro look. Now, I don't know how I can be any clearer than that, let it sink in.

 

Actually you did when you start talking down to people becouse of what engine size they have. I meen sounds like your trying to over compensate to me.

Okay id love to of seen your corsica lmao. 3.1 FTW!


Umm yea its great to have a opinion but the bad thing is.... it's nota good one sounds slightly biased and uneducated to me.

Thats great but once again it's great to hear arguments I actually love a good debate. But the bad thing is none of your opions make sense. Simply becouse it's your opinion to have a V8 means your better doesnt amount to a hill of beans.

Once again great your just verifing what I just typed above....

Uhhh yea bye! heyyy wait a minute I thought you were gone whats the deal with the post above.

 

Well, enjoy your time elsewhere then. Don't let the door hit ya on the way out.

 

There isn't anything wrong with a V6 Camaro/Firebird. The 98+ models share a lot of the same parts as the V8s, especially in terms of the suspension setup and the brakes. Not to mention, the V6 models are lighter up front, and arguably handle better than the V8s for that reason alone.

While I personally wouldn't purchase a V6 Camaro, clearly because I love V8s, it's not a bad car, and I would hardly consider one a poor automobile. I wouldn't complain aboutcruising a V6 convertible (or TTop version) on a nice day.

 

theres absolutely nothing wrong with any camaro: v6, v8, auto, stick, 1st gen-4th gen. PERSONALY, i was fortunate enough to be in a situation where i'm able to pay off(slowly but surely) my SS. however, many ppl are not, and the bestalternative for them is a v6(great looksalong with the camaro heritage, just lacking in power compared to the v8). i have a buddy that has hada v6 camaro since before i got my v8 and if i wasnt exposed to that camaro, i probably never would have wanted one... i just never really looked into the sports car world until then. so in my OPINION, i wouldn't buy a v6 camaro just because i feel like if your going to get a muscle car, it just has to have a v8, with the exception of the buick grand national cuz that turbo v6 is just sweet.

 

None of my opinions make sense? So the fact that I feel a "sports car" should have a powerful engine doesn't make sense?Explain to me what a sports car, or in this case a pony car, is. I was under the impression that main draw of such a car is the fact you have a medium sized chassis with a powerful engine to launch that bastard past all the other grocery getters out there. And sure, you'll have some that have V6's because people only want the looks of such a car; that's cool, but not what I want. That's what I've stated simply since the start of this thread. And simply stating that I wouldn't want a V6 Camaro because I don't like them isn't starting ****, you may not like my opinion but it's not an attack on anyone. Lastly, it's an opinion, it doesn't have to make sense. Maybe I just feel that way, it's like trying to logically argue that Pepsi is better than Coke and vice versa.

Oh and as for my Corsica, that was one bad mother****er. That bastard got rode hard and put away wet everyday and still ran like a champ, even after I slid it into a telephone pole. Those were the days when the e-brake was my best friend.

 

First off, what's with the pottymouth? I don't know if you think it makes you look mature, or what, but you just come across looking like an ***.

Anyway, there are plenty of sports cars without a lot of power, and I can name a ton of them. Want me to? Mazda Miata, Austin Healey Sprite, Lotus Elise, Lotus Elan, Toyota MR2, Porsche Boxster, BMW Z3, and want me to go on?
