Its the version that sells in mass quantities so the V8 versions can exist.

There is still a +400 lb weight penalty for the Camaro so unless you are a terrible driver you won't be bested by one.

There was a time not so long ago when the fastest American-made production car was sporting a V6.

Uh...
Competition...?
Do you even know how much that car weighs?
lol!
So basically you're saying that the heavy camaro with a V6 is rival.
I don't think so...
A V8 is equal or a little bit faster in a straight compared to a 370z.
V6 I think not.

Simmer down yo, read the posts, the car is obviously heavier and all. Nobody said you were not the fastest and most furious.

If he wasn't furious before, he will be when he reads your post.

To be honest its needs a bump. its a full second behind a v6 mustang and a second + behind a Z,that 20 horse power or so wont make up that difference so im not scared

Yep, a V6 Buick was the baddest thing America made at the time, and that car is still in the 10's for a very small cash outlay. Love 'em! Wish I had one for a DD.
