It's usually about being the bigger man and ignoring those conversations completely.

Even when I had my SS, I had never been asked if it was a V8 or a V6. Most people just liked the way the car looked.

I tell them mine is a 7-cylinder, 6 under hood and one in the trunk. Nitrous on a 6 seems to shut them up pretty quick also. You did the right thing by not going to their level.

Thing is...I don't care. Bought this car for me, and nothing they say is gonna get this smile off my face.

Well played.


I have never been asked if I have the V6 or V8 in my Camaro, everyone has told me that they just plain like the car. Didn't matter if it was my LT or SS.

True that....my rare ABM Camaro is usually the story that comes up.

We'll stop as soon as you boys stop wondering into the V6 section for no reason and randomly saying "should have got a V8".

What about the endless number of "I traded up!" threads. Isn't that for ego boosting?

Look I don't really have any big issues with it, and the V8 is BOSS, but its not fair for you to think we don't have the right to pound our chest a little also.

What's funny is I have an SS, and already get the "you should have got a ZL1" remarks. If you buy a ZL1, then it will be "You should have bought a Z06. Then, Z06-ZR1. Then ZR1 to GTR. GTR to Bugatti. Bugatti....then someone will go..."Should have got the super sport." Goes on and on.

And The vast majority of people have no idea if you have a V6 or a V8.

Into the V6 section? This is the general forum lmao Might wanna check before you post. Quite frankly, I don't care what you V6 guys do. really couldn't. I don't discriminate between the 2 (V6 or V8) at all. I just wish the "someone told me I should have gotten the V8...but I told them I have a V6 with pride!" stories would end.
