There's no need for a new Camaro, period, V6 or otherwise. There's no need for any car that can exceed the highest speed limit in the nation. There's no need for his '65 Goat, there's no need for my '70 buick, a '65 GT350, a '70 Chevelle SS LS6 convertible or a '69 ZL-1 Corvette, and really, there's no need for any car at all except econoboxes with hyper efficient hybrid drives, and even then, only if people car pool. There' no need for color choice in an automobile. There's no need for a radio in an automobile in 2014 either.

You're not a 'car guy' just because you own a cool car. Anybody with a checking account can do that. When you think "that's an excessive number of engines" available for an enthusiast's car...you may not be an enthusiast and an enthusiast is a 'car guy'.

You're on notice regarding your own 'car guy' card status.
