Agreed. IMO the V6 is by far the "best bang for the buck" on the market today. I'm very interested in seeing more images of the 1LT and 1LS.

v6 for me please...

My V8 hardly touches the street, I like to drive my v6 daily and leave the 8 for track (some times it happens).

I really think this F5 V6 IS the best choice for the market, and the v8 is just the toy we all want to have to put the sticker "NO, YOU CANīT DRIVE IT"

Ditto here. The V6 looks like a solid package for daily driving & moderate track use. Insurance, annual registration, fuel mileage, all will be less costly & offer up advantages. The extra $$$ you save on them can go a long way towards gas & race tires, which are a big equalizer at the track.

There is no 'bad' choice in a 5th gen Camaro.

The LS is actually a very interesting car and I think you will be thrilled with your choice. Post up the pix when you take delivery!

You wouldn't believe all the crap I've taken over ordering the V6 from all my co-workers! I am surrounded by type-A personalities, but I think they will be quite envious when they see the actual car. Nothing else for the money can touch this thing and its features. I'm stoked!

I have the 2SS w/RS ordered and the more I think about it, I can set up a 2LT the same for $7K less just giving up the SS badge and the V8. Hmmm.

  • 6 speed trans
  • rear independent suspension
  • 4 wheel disk brakes
  • 6 air bags
  • cruise control
  • remote keyless entry
  • Stabilitrack with traction control
  • tire pressure monitors
  • satellite radio
  • AC
Add to that 0-60 under 6 seconds and a sub 14 quarter mile and I'd say
LS is the new base Bro!


Just remember that 6 speed is NOT the TR6060. You're getting a light duty foreign made tranny with that v6.

That U-tube video was not a direct injection 3.6, it was the 255 horsepower version with some mods done. Sounds great!


I ordered a V-6 2010 camaro on october 20th, much better decision than the turd V-6 challenger i test drove one week earlier. This black camaro will replace my daily driver 87 turbo regal limited. I cant wait to test drive it.
