I gotta say the turning capabilities are awesome on Camaro's. I have a v6 and use the great turning to my advantage. I've been in situations where I am going fast through city streets against a faster car and use my fast turning capabilities to my advantage and end up loosing bigger car v8's. WHile they have to press the brakes to turn, I simply punch it and take the turn at faster speeds. I'm gonna start looking into swapping in a Z28 engine, though. Any suggestions?

 

a guy that i work with has a 3.4 camaro... we went to the track this weekend.. his best time was a 16.8. I'd spend the extra cash on a z28 or you'll be disappointed

 

Some tool on the s10 forum is trying to tell me the 3.8 is ****ty, but he has a 2.5. Heh.

 

OKay first off I have both a camaro 2.8 liter and a camry xle(3.0) and I can tell you my camaro STOCK can beat my camry I love my camaro more! my camry has a sunroof my camaro has T-tops the camaro is easy to get parts haha you would rather have a daily maybe for a camry but to race leme tell you that I looked for a camry to race lol you think you can make one fast I would pay to see that my camaro I got for $600 and it is in okay condition still kicks the **** outa my camry and van I beat a few neon's no it's nothing special but I cna do so much more with it! and then ya you put headers exhaust ext you'll have a fun cheap toy I'm fixing my torque converter seal now but as soon as I get the money to get a 350 I'm going to and then see who's laughing about a 2.8 and have fun MY CAMRY gets 15-18mpg new my camaro gets 18-20! so ya have fun thanks guys nick!

 

Okay, who had to bring a thread back from the dead?[&o]

 

Well.... i'd just buy a z

I can tell you I can't afford one and I'm look'n for a cheap prodject!~ for $10 grand I can push 500hp on my camaro by switching the engine and nos and all that stuff in theory and then find me a great runing one that can run that with an auditt or wrx...... and these are dailys camaro v6 are fun to drive I would pick my camaro over camry honda ext....... thanks all Nick!~

 

thats what i got in mine dude, i think its peppy.

 

Drumroll please ************* and MPG Highway/City is...?

 

You got to remember the point of the V6, it wasn't to go to the track in. It was for a good looking peppy car, that helped the car companies keep their Average MPG down. As most people have said about their V6's, I think it was a great car.... for it's purpose. I too had the 3.8 and it had the perfect mixture of fun, and economy. I used it as a DD and then have the V8 for my "fun" car.
Yes, I would always rather have a z28 or some type of V8, But I still was getting mid to high 20's on the MPG, and all those little Civics and cars that had 4 Cylinders and "go faster" muffler still spent their time behind me.
