Nice! I had an older woman (prolly in her 60's) stop me in the parking lot at Nugget here in Elk Grove to say that the new Camaro was absolutely gorgeous. Good stuff

I had a V6 2010 Camaro before I traded it in for a 2010 SS, and I must say the V6 was pretty impressive, moreso than my current SS. The V6 had a surprising amount of pull at wide open throttle, and my SS (L99) comes up a bit short from what I was expecting (even post fuse pull mod). That's OK though, that's what mods are for.

IDK if you should consider spray a 125 shot a minor mod. Not hatin, hats off to him. I really suprised that it didnt take more internal modding. (I could be wrong D

Test drive an A6 LT today... just waiting for my M6 LT soon.... really hyped. The A6 did have some nice pull even at mid throttle. Got me wantin!

Better edit this before you get a warning

I agree, our v6 gets alot more respect then I was expecting. It ant no beast, but it ant no slouch either and it deserves the respect its getting

Grandeos · 05-24-2011, 07:32 AM

The V6 is definitly an amazing motor. People were always shocked at how quick it was.
But after a year or so.... I wanted more. Now I got a V8, and I'll never look back!!!

I think he means minor in terms of cost. With the exception of the pistons, the internals are forged. The DI help keeps the temps down. It's like GM was intending to make this a FI engine. We have several runniing in the 350-400 WHP range now and so far no major issues (knock on wood). I think you'll be happy whether you like to mod or not.

Nice, I just modded my kitchen lights last night then too. That damn thing pops like once a week!

Just have to remember that she was in her 20's during the Gen1 days. If you had any passion what so ever for the Gen1 cars, you will have that passion for the Gen5 Camaros.

I get goose bumps every time some elderly folks compliment my clothing style too - totally awesome.

VR Baron · 05-24-2011, 02:58 PM

I like mine and she does pull when needed, especially with the mods.On the street it acellerates like my modded 98 z28 m6 since you dont floor it to go stop to stop anyway.And on the street its all feel anyway, no stop watches.Also one mag did a 40-60 accel between the ss and lt and it was 3 seconds versus 3.5. Not going to feel that.
