CAMARO6 - View Single Post - 2016 Camaro V6 vs.. 2015 Camaro V8, Almost As Fast?

I had a 2015 SS convertible for a week last year before I bought my '16 V6. My butt dyno says they are virtually identical, maybe even giving the V6 a slight edge.

I almost bought a '15 SS because they were going off the lots dirt cheap when the '16s starting rolling out. Then I drove a 16 V6 and was so impressed by the performance that I didn't feel the need for a V8.

That coupled with the improved interior sold me! For me, a few tenths is not perceivable unless you measure it or compare it side by side. And I bought the Camaro to enjoy it, not study its performance metrics.
