Default V6 Camaro is crap?!!?!?!?!?!?

Let me quote some idiot on another forum:
"V6 Camaro... Thats like a V6 Mustang there is no point to owning one."
" V6 camaro is in the same discussion as a pinto, taures, convertable geo,etc. 0 chick status,ugly and slow, super slow. "
"I have driven a V6 camaro before. I think I had more fun in a toyota camry."
"ide honestly must rather drive a honda than a v6 camaro...."

What do you guys think about that??!!
This is coming for Subaru and Audi owners, btw

I think someone may have peed in his cheerios. I don't know about the 3.4, but I had a 3.8 and it was quite the peppy little engine. It ten times better than the V6 Mustangs. If you remember when coupled with a turbo the 3.8 cars are very quick (Buick Grand National, and the Turbo T/A). I liked the engine, and in fact am looking for new Camaro. I wouldn't mind having another 3.8.

EDIT: Those cars I mentioned were from the '80's. I didn't see Subaru with any hot runners back then.

the 3.4 aint a bad engine. thats what i have. if its just completly stock yeah its not that fast and responsive. but with just a flowmaster or magnaflow installed and a airintake its peppy enough. and theres alot more you can do too to them.

The 3.4 can be mode to make some decent power. We built one up for a Pontiac Grand Prix, and the car was able to do the 1/4 in the high 14s to low 15s at around 90 to 92 MPH. Used Crane cam, 3400 porcupine heads giving 11:1 compression, custom lenght push rods, and 3400 manifold, port matched heads to manifold, 3" exhaust with cat, cold air intake, and reprogrammed computer. Dyno run shows engine running lean on top end, so there is a little more power left. The car is very streetable, and fuel mileage is not obscene. The car is several hundred pounds heavier than a Camaro, and has less traction due to front drive. So a camaro with this set up should be quicker and faster.

That person has no idea what they are talking about, when you take in all the factors like price, insurance, quality of car, stock power the v6 camaro is a great buy. It was hard to find a 5 speed in but with 4 wheel ABS disc breaks a nicer interior and a better engine than the mustang what’s not to like, you can go out and get a honda if you want to go on that crappy bandwagon but what do they have to offer at the price, a civic well lodeda what a POS, if you can find a integra that’s ok but with 100K miles at the same price as a 02 camaro who wants it. as for a camary there is no way that came close to the camaro and for looks how can he say the V6 camaro looks bad, I would ask him if he thinks the V8 looks as bad as the V6 see if he even knows what he’s talking about. In this case ignorance is not bliss.

I sometimes have a lead foot. When I first had the car i got 16mpg and thats when I had AC set to max and was still learning to shift. Now I get 20 but I dont floor it everytime....
I do have wider tires on the car. I dunno if that makes a diff. mines a 3.4 95
