It might just be that the majority of people on here are v8 owners that have little to no knowledge on i4's and v6's? Like others have said, I'm sure you'd much rather hear from another i4 driver than one with a v8 and there's just not many on this forum bro

Thanks to everyone who gave some feedback,

TBH it makes sense,some owners compare the i4 to a cheap honda civic which is very wrong its like a hierarchy with SS owners being on the top, its a sad reality that us 4 bangers live in even though our LTG is considered very capable and very under estimated..I've had a 2SS owner drive my Car and I can tell you he was very impressed with the engine and how light weight it was,I've driven his and it felt like mine car except its a bit heavier with more access to power when you need it its very fun to drive.Its more of a misconception

The I4 is a very fun car to drive, the turbo makes my day much better especially when having a very bad day the turbo sound in sport mode is on point, and makes my day a lot better..I've driven the NPP and the No NPP v8 Camaro they are amazing cars indeed! And the ZL1 is even much better since it delivers much more power! I do not regret getting the I4 it's a great daily driver overall and never had me disappointed.

I'm tired of the smug attitude with some SS owners, not all but most. I thought this forum was to help each other out with their GEN6 Camaros. Not the guy or girl who has a SS and that's it.

Anyways, I digress and I have to come to terms that the responses won't be civil, and insightful like OEMTech. The only guy who actually answers questions regardless of what you drive.

Maybe I should follow his path and trade in my GEN6 for a SRT 392 Charger and actually have power and no list of problems like what almost all GEN6's have or will have.

Thanks for your time,

EagleRS
You sound incredibly insecure.

This post was hilarious, though. I might print it out, draw some tears on it, and keep it to laugh at for years to come.

Hahahahahaha I've noticed this as well. I'm the OP of the other thread and I do find it funny to see how the LTG engine isn't seen as worthy. It's almost impossible to find how to guides for a first time doing things to this car.

Jacfab has some of the best information out there not only that he is extremely friendly and willing to share information. If you guys would actually read the forums in the 4cyl section you would see this guys knows the ins and outs has swapped axles and differentials and would probably be more then happy to give you a quick explanation on how to change the fluid.

What blows my mind is that you are complaining about a post that has nothing to do with you.. And the question the person asks most of the information is found in the manual and the rest is already out in the forums somewhere a couple google searches could find it.

Don't blow up at people here this is a amazing forum to be apart of I would be careful and not burn your bridge here.

Can be found on google search, sure. What do you find? This forum. I really can't understand why people wouldn't want more threads?
