If you plan on modifying the car at all and want to race at the drag strip if your budget doesn't allow the v8 and you're thinking you need to buy a v6... Buy a 4 cylinder instead.

This all the way. The 4 cylinder is a better engine than the V6 in every way. I had it in a 2009 Cobalt SS and you can get some crazy gains for not a lot of money. I've heard people say the V6 sounds better than the 4...not really sure that is true either. Some 6 cylinders do sound amazing, but the sound difference between the 4 and 6 cylinder Camaros isn't that spectacular--both sound pretty good.

The reality is you just look like a total DB coming online to inform people you're an idiot and don't agree with their life choices. Maybe you should have bought a ZL1 that way you didn't have to be a middle of the pack camaro. I mean, who would buy an SS if they are worried about extreme performance?

I would get a ZL1 if I could afford one. I definitely wouldn't be on here trying to imply that my SS is "plenty fast for me" or "the only realistic engine for the streets". But hey, on the bright side I can just add forced induction and be right where a ZL1 is--as far as power goes anyway. One and a half seconds is a big difference by the way. You probably didn't realize that because you're not into racing or performance. But anyway, I wasn't really trying to get current owners to switch, but this person asked for opinions on deciding between the two--so that is what I am doing. If your feelings got hurt, then it's probably because you're secretly insecure about your purchase.
