wrong, modded mine. I am getting a IPS Twin turbo setup, that will give any modded v8 muscle a run for its money (that is unless they are ridiculously modded with forced induction). I like to think of it as a modern muscle car using more efficiency and getting more mpgs. Also adding 11hp by adding an ingenious design to the LLT is a bad thing?

For what it's worth - the Camaro team listens to it's customers (and enthusiasts) more than many other car lines put together. You might be familiar with the disciples...or the company's presence at the Camaro5 Fest and many other shows. They're constantly listening...as I'm sure they've read this thread already. But they're not about to let the customers design or engineer the car. Because we have no idea what we're talking about in the big picture, and that results in an Aztek. Also...careful what you ask for...Ford may still have manifolds on their V6, but that doesn't, inherently make it better. The two companies take wildly different approaches to the same problems. It's really very interesting. |

You mean the 6th Gen won't have a microwave and mini fridge as an option for the passenger seat?

Not sure how you can compare a bike to a car. Not really fair don't you think?

I was originally a little skeptical of the integrated exhaust manifolds, but now I think it is six of one/half dozen of another. It lowers weight and reduces manufacturing cost. You will probably never make the LFX sound as aggressive as an LLT with tuned headers, but you can get as much gain with a down pipe and high-flow cats on the LFX as headers and high-flow cats on a LLT. Given you start out with 11 hp more, that seems to be a plus if your goal is more power. If your goal is the most aggressive sounding V6 then yeah, it is a negative.

Never buy a V6
Quote:
Every car I ever bought was a V8 and yes I saved an extra couple years to get one. Sacrifice is a word young people need to get used to. Two jobs was a no brainer during my younger years raising a family and both me and my wife working those long hours. When my daughter was looking for a modern muscle car it was between the Camaro SS, Mustang GT and Challenger 392. She test drove all three cars and decided on finding a Challenger online. Eventually after a year a leftover 2012 in the color combo she wanted was discounted $10k from Landmark Dodge in Morrow GA 700 miles away. Last April 2013 the car was delivered. She saved and saved and yes saved and got the car of her dreams with a V8. Blue with silver stripes and its a true touring car. So now you have the V6 and want some more performance. Get another job and pay the car off. Save for a V8. Sacrifice and waiting are two very important attributes in getting the car you really want not the one you settle on. |

I by no means settled, there was actually a 1SS that they would have sold to me for less, but I prefer the 2 over the 1. Yes I would like a 2SS but that'll be down the road. If I always waited and saved up for the car I wanted I would never buy a car. When I had enough for a SS why not save more and buy a ZL1? When I get to that point whey should I waste the money on a ZL1 when I could get a SRT Jeep? When I get to jeep money, now I want a Porsche 911.....
