Great to see the V6 getting some props!

Awesome V6 love from the magazines ! Some of their statements seem to mirror the feelings expressed on this forum.

Glad to see the props for the V6

In the article, he referred to the Automatic V6 had a "sport mode". What is he referring to? The tap system??

tcamp · 08-21-2009, 11:17 AM

Just put the gear selector in "M" and don't tap anything and your automatic transmission will drive like a regular auto but with much more aggressive shifting.

tcamp · 08-21-2009, 11:18 AM

M=Sport mode. go figure.

Mojave · 08-21-2009, 11:37 AM

probably manualmatic or something like that

I do appreciate the nod towards the engine, but I don't think I agree with him about the handling comparison with the mustang. I drove a 2010 Mustang before I settled on my 1LT and was pretty unimpressed by the handling. I am no race driver, but the mustang seemed to have lots of body roll and I felt like it was getting loose going around sharp turns. Could this be because the only mustang that gets tested by the mags is the one with the "track pack"? I probably don't know what I am talking about, but I wonder if the visibility issues (which you get used to after a while) make the Camaro feel less precise than it is.

They should have tested the V6 with manual trans. Would of had bigger smiles!

Not a bad write up.
