What is the Fastest Production 6 Cyl Camaro?

[archtaan]

I believe the current crop of V6's is a lot faster than the previous 3.8's and such. The only quicker F-body V6 would be the turbo trans ams that ran the Buick GS' turbo motors. They were faster than corvettes that year (87 I believe), I dont think there was a Camaro equivalent though. The Camaro's are better handling, brake better, accelerate harder and of course look a 1000x better than their predecessors. - Looks for a 68-69 may be subjective, but not performance. Who knows what will happen next gen, but I am sure it will be more HP and of course less weight.

Has any herd of or seen a 4th gen or a 3ed gen with a 5th gen LLT motor in it

BTW, I dont want this to be a I am faster than an SS thread. This is not what its about. I respect the SS owners great cars that sound great and drive even better. I own a V6 and am interested just from the stand point of evolution from a nothing 6 to a something 6.
I bet that if Chevrolet looks close enough at the price point / performance of the six. Adding a few more ponies for a little more money could drive many more sales.
Hoping someone could add something to our six. Like Carrol Shelby is doing to the Ford Mustang 6. I guess we wait until Whiteside shows the 6 banger Green Camaro at SEMA to see what is possible.

No, most don't waste their time. LS1s are more common.

That is logical though I WOULD DO IT just to be the one off . I like doing things others would not do . I hope someone does it would like to see the stat numbers and drag times all that

The 5th gen V6 has to be the fastest. I would be surprised if it wasn't.

I agree that is what i am thinking as i stated. It is the most advanced 6 banger chevy ever put out and they still improveing it in 2012 now with 326 hp!

Very True, a V8 has been around for decades. Also most wont bother with a 6 when an 8 will do the job. Plus I think our six costs as much as a create LS1

Can someone tell me how much a LLT motor is from the factory...can you even JUST by the motor?

I drove my neighbor's '69 250 L6 with powerglide 2-speed auto back in the day, when it was about 10 years old. Sweet car, dark green with green interior, bucket seats and console floor shifter, AM radio. Lots of rust. Once it got going, power was similar to a 307 small block V8 I had in my '71 Chevelle vert (non-SS) that had a really loud valve tick and top rip I never fixed. Fwiw. Those were the days! :-)

My guesses would be fastest is the current V6 and slowest is the 1st gen V6

Early 3rd gen V6 is slowest.

If we're only talking about Camaros, the 5th gen is the quickest V6. Trans Ams on the other hand...

I've heard that they don't cost too much less than an LS3, but that could be just a rumor. If true, that would probably put them at about $6,000
