I mean it's literally right there in my signature, below every one of my posts. Yea, I go to the track and I have fun. I floor it when I have an onramp to myself (0-80 is so satisfying by the way), and every time I get a safe moment to do so, I'm enjoying the hell out of the 450HP/450TQ.

I used to have a 4th gen SS and the fastest I ever went at the track is a 7.7 @ 93.94mph, with a 75 shot and some borrowed slicks, but I ran up to a 200 shot at one time--and beat a Ninja 600 in a race. No times with that much nitrous though...unfortunately. Anyway, I miss that speed, and want to go even beyond that. A Hellion twin turbo kit or a Procharger kit are definitely in my future. Going to be going back to school soon, and getting paid to do so, so I'll probably be able to pay my car down while buying some toys

So yea, your car is beastly to you...cool. Some people think their minivans are fast. In my eyes, as someone with an addiction for going fast, your statement just has me cracking up

I think he is still trying to find where I "down played" the V6.

Damn it, I did it again. I posted on the Gen 6 forum when I'm not suppose to because I don't own a 6th Gen.

Risky Justice back again you're really funny guy. If you're so addicted to speed why did you keep a 4th Gen SS for so long and why didn't you buy the ZL1? But you are right fast is relative just as your car would be fast to you but be slow to someone else you can look at my car that way and that's fine but there's no need to be a huge douchebag about it

Bro you really need to let that go seems like you're really upset that everybody posted all the links to the V6 exhaust sounding I don't know what's the word perhaps the word is exotic. Yes I believe the word was exotic. I believe GM even referred to it as Ferrari Like. Anyways man I have no beef with you you really do need to let it go

If I could afford a ZL1, then I would get one--money is the problem for me. I didn't even have a sports car for a while. Got stuck driving a '12 Golf TDI for a few years. Decently fun car I suppose, but not really. Didn't initially want to be a dick, but first people said the V6 is beastly, and then some actually started talking shit about the 4 cylinder turbo--which is absolutely a better buy.

Bro, I have no issue with you thinking your V6 sounds like an exotic. It sounds like you can't let it go. You can believe whatever you want. By the way I'm still waiting to see where I "down played" the V6. It's pretty funny that I can call you out on your bs and you can't deliver.

Oops, I posted in the 6th Gen section again and I still don't have a 6th Gen. I'm so sorry. I keep forgetting that I must own a 6th Gen to post here. I'm just going to have to go trade my slow 5th Gen V8 in for a 4th Gen since it can "run circles" around me or for a 6th Gen V6.

That wouldn't be a down play either, that would be my opinion of it and as always, everyone has a different opinion. And I didn't know you owned the site or that 6th Gen owners owned the site. I also didn't realize that this is not a public forum and that I had to own a 6th Gen to be on it. Now that you have corrected me on that I will leave.

ok here is one of your responses.

14Black1LESS words of awesomeness are as follows.

So you are saying that only 10%-20% of people with Camaro's are the only ones that mod their cars?! If that was the case then there wouldn't be numerous aftermarket parts and vendors for them. I would say more like 50% mod their cars and the majority of them have V8's.

Again, a Camaro is NOT a sports car. It is a pony car. It may feel like a sports car to you but it's not. I have had sports cars and the Camaro does not feel like one, and yes that includes the 6th Gen. GM has definitely improved the handling of these cars but it's still far from a sports car. And fyi, a V6 does not sound like a V12. I will admit the V6 with NPP does sound good but it's no where close to a V12 sound.



here is another
14Black1LESS words of awesomeness are as follows.

Your cracking me up now. The majority of the exotics have V12's genius. That's why I referenced a V12, and no it does not sound like a V12 or a V10 and if you want to go to a Bugatti, a W16. I have heard plenty of V6's with NPP. Maybe you and your "friends" thinks it does, and that's ok but don't try to convince everyone else that it does. Your 6th Gen is still not a sports car and never will be. Don't get mad about it, as you put it, it is what it is. If you think a 4th Gen can run circles around me then you are smoking something really good. Obviously you have never driven a 1LE. I have had a 2002 Camaro SS and know very well what it is capable of. Also hate to break it to you but the new V6 is not about as fast as my car. Since you want to compare it to my car, mine is not stock. FYI, the time that I posted was for the 6th Gen 1LE SS, not the 5th Gen. Do some research before you spout off at the mouth. My performance perspective is not skewed, apparently yours is though.


here is your winning personality continuing to wow me.
14Black1LESS words of awesomeness are as follows.


As stated several times obviously but you apparently you are incoherent to understating, the V6 with NPP does not sounds like an exotic. I have heard them in person, both the V6 and exotics, and on youtube. They sound completely different. That would be just like me saying that my V8 sounds like a W16, and it sure as hell doesn't. But good for you for thinking that your car sounds like an exotic. Whatever helps you sleep at night.


then you continue to be a cool guy

No shit he is going to say it, he is trying to sell the Camaro. If you were the Chief Engineer you would say whatever you could also to sell your product.


then you twisted up words again with this

You may want to consider trading your 5th gen in for a 6th gen you've been spending a lot of time here.
Well bro you might want to read my comment first.

14Black1LESS words of awesomeness are as follows.

Oh, I have to own a 6th Gen to be on this forum!?!?!? Damn, better go trade mine in now so I can deal with little crybabies like you.

Sure keep posting them. If you want to think the V6 sounds like a V12 then good for you.

End of Quotes.

Bro
I am tired of this game with you, all anyone has to do is read the previous few pages to see what kind of a cool guy you are. no one said the V6 sounded like a V12 EXCEPT YOU. Please drop it be cool and grow up. As stated above the 6th gen is a sports car and the V6 is fast and sounds exotic. If you can not handle that it is on you man

wow,lots of hate between 6 and 8 cylinder owners here.nobody has stopped to think that if the total number of cars built didnt make a profit for GM the camaro would cease to exist as it did once before.in their great wisdom GM has blessed us with three engine choices,take the one that suits you the best and enjoy it...

Stop making sense. That's not allowed in this thread.

I4 is an awesome engine. In a Gen 6 Camaro it delivers a really fun to drive car. Before Camaro moved to Alpha, I had an M6 2.0T ATS for 6-months and I knew the 6th Gen Camaro was going to land with the same powertrain. I was already primed to buy one. I spent more than a little bit of time embarrasing 6-cylinder 3-Series. I wound up buying a 2017 LT1, but that story is a long and winding road not worth going into here.

The V6 DOHC is an awesome engine. 335 hp is nothing to sneeze at. Combined with the Alpha platform's handling it delivers an outstanding track vehicle. The 1LE outperforms 4th Gen and some 5th Gen CORVETTES in every respect (acceleration, handling, braking). Yes, more modern should be better, but if a 5th Gen Vette is a good car, it didn't just gradually slide into the "suck" pile. That would imply that a Gen 6 V6 Camaro is also a very good car.

The LT1 in Alpha platform is an absolute beast. I thoroughly enjoy mine. It transforms the Camaro into a different class of vehicle. Call it a pony car, a muscle car, a sports car.....it competes very favorably in all those classifications and punches way above its weight class. However you want to classify it is probably based on how you choose to use it.

Three excellent engine choices.....one basic vehicle.....enjoy the excess of riches and let those who chose differently than you did enjoy their choice.
