You can make the Camaro V6 sound similar to a 350Z, or you can make it sound like a firebreather...your choice.
I encourage all of you to strap on some good headphones or listen to these through some decent speakers. Look, I will never say a V6 can sound just like a V8 because it can't...but these have the same type of growl and sound spectacular. Hell, I think the first one sounds better than many SS cars I've heard...just my .02.
I give you a few 'firebreather' examples. LTs and SLP Powerflow:
Here is a slightly more mellow version with LTs and magnaflow:
...and have you listened to the video of the Jay Leno TT V6 project? It sounded great unless for some reason the video equipment they used just made it sound more badass than it really is. Anyways, my point being that if GM really pays attention to the sound (which is very important because half of the SS owners bought it in big part because of the sound) they could sway a lot more people to give it a shot. If it sounds like a fart can, then its not going to do as well.

and sorry but you sound like nothing more than a whiner. There is going to be a V8 option you can count on it...but don't throw a cry baby fit if they begin to offer a performance V6 and it happens to put the smack down on the V8.
In my mind, there is nothing more american than a big growly V8 pushing around a good looking muscle coupe, but times are changing. If we want the 'domestic' brands to keep upping their game and staying with the competition they are going to have to change. Get used to it.
