I'm in the market for a 6th gen Camaro, and I honestly don't care much if it's a 6 or 8. (8 sounds better and has more power, but is heavier, thirstier and I ride roads that give Miatas fits.) I come from the world of motorcycles. My last bike would shit directly down the throat of a Corvette ZR1, let alone some 'normal' V8.
The problem is that Wyzz and his ilk, of which there are MANY, make me want to say '**** it.' and get a Fiesta ST instead. That car has no compunctions of it being a 'sports car.' There's no argument there, it's just a 'sporty' little go kart, unlike the modern muscle that can blur the lines of sport, pony and muscle.
I do this INSANE thing called driving on twisty roads. (What a lunatic, I know.) I have ZERO interest in 0-60, 0-100, quarter miles, roll racing, burn outs or sitting at the Starbucks masturbating over my V8 engine. That said, I don't mind the V6 as much, but if every gas stop I'm going to have to deal with some chump asking me to give my 'V8' some revs for them or some shit I'll just go Fiesta. I don't care to be harangued about 'not a real Camaro' 'not a v8' or people laughing every time I stop moving the damned car. Is this the case?
The Fiesta doesn't look as good, sound as good or have the 'presence' but no one will ever give a shit. I'm just some kid, even though I'm not a kid, in a hopped up Econo shit-box. (No aftermarket exhaust, 4 banger cars sound 'bleh.')
I can't even fathom what the Mustang EB and Camaro 4 banger people have to put up with.
Do V8 owners go from home to home and check all Chargers/Challengers/Camaros/Mustangs to make sure they have the 'proper' number of cylinders, and if they don't they slash the tires and spray paint 'get a real car' on the windshield?
