At least that's how it is with EB/v6 mustangs.

Remember that the economy of scale is the name of the game nowadays. Almost nothing is purposely built around something anymore unless we are talking about supercars.
Camaro uses the Alpha platform, which also was shared by ATS and CTS. ATS-V used a twin-turbo V6 and was capable in its own right. So no, Camaro(or Alpha platform) isn't built around a V8.
If you really want to get down to engine heritage, V8's are pickup truck engines. Laughing at family sedan engines with a pickup truck engine is pot calling the kettle black. Heck, some of those V6 and I4T engines are in pickup trucks as well.
As for the cocky non-V8 pony car owners, you can see the same thing happening with younger crowd in general, regardless of what car they drive.

Most FB is joke. Nothing to learn. I was gone 2 yrs from Camaro forum and im happy that its still active, not like some other car that forum actually died because of FB.

Facebook car group will never replace forums IMO. Car forums have much more depth than Facebook groups. Searching real knowledge and respectful opinions are pretty much impossible on Facebook.
Funnily enough, even the younger crowds are moving away from Facebook to Instagram. I know the latter is owned by Facebook, but it's just funny that Facebook is considered to be an "old people thing" now. I don't use Facebook much anymore myself. It's mostly shenanigans I don't want any part in.
