the turbo 4 and V6 camaros are similar to those tiny toss-able cars. Cars that feel at home on curvy mountain roads. An automobile that can utilize most of its performance capabilities on public roads is a beautiful thing.
It's that old adage: "better to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow."
There is a lot of truth in that statement.

I undrstood which cars you were implying, I just whole heartedly believe a V6 pony car (Mustang/camaro/Challenger) will never be sought after or have an appeal to "car guys" more than the tiniest of niches. I'm not saying that to bag on the cars at all as I wouldn't mind DD'ing one, (I commute in a Hyundai [emoji23] ) but I honestly believe nobody will crave the V6 domestic pony cars while the V8's are still so attainable.
