As some have noticed, we disciples have noted how surprising the V6 Camaro was and this has been followed by some great posts filled with hope and plans for the V6 (like this one). It seems the tide has changed, and having been able to actually drive the V6 Camaro, this is a good thing.
Going purely on what information has been presented as speculation here...
What is it going to be in YOUR 2010 Camaro??

That depends Mr. Deciple. If you have more info to share with us from the recent Milford trip about what to expect for a V8 in the 2010 Camaro. 
Then we have something to compare it to.
I would think many on this site are V8 loving enthusiasts and would need to be convinced to go for the V6. That will mean we'll need to know about the V8 and things like sticker price, power and curb weight.

Well I tried....
5th option it is. Although for me unless the V8 is priced high so that people are almost forced to buy a V6, I still want the V8. But I'm very glad to hear the V6 Camaro is shaping up to be a great car.
So having driven the V6 manual where is your vote going?

I am loving the idea of a 300 HP 6 speed V6, low option,blah blah.
Add FI to that car, that would be VERY NICE. Good on gas, excellent DD.
However, I like the idea of a 6.2 M6 car even more. Unless the V8 car is priced WAY out of my affordability, thats what Ill be getting.
Its all speculation until September though.

I still want a V8, that's a top-priority. But what's good news, is that if they price it well out of my range (like, 32k+ for just the V8 with no options), then there will be no "settling" for a V6. After everything we've been told...it's shaping up to be one badass car!!
This isn't your average V6 by a long shot - so I would in NO WAY be disappointed in getting one.

I voted for the V6 assuming it's the direct injected version and it's backed with a 6 speed manual and it's as quick as I suspect it is and....
...if GM DOESN'T put a governer on top speed, even if it this has to be part of a performance package.
If I were to stick with a V8, my short list of cars isn't limited to the Camaro. The Challenger R/T, the 2010 Mustang GT, and the Pontiac G8 ST truck are all very high on my list.
I demand a quick car and being out west with plenty of freeways that are straight, flat, and lightly traveled gives me occasional opportunity to indulge briefly in high speed bursts. But I also put some serious miles on my cars (my 2002 B4C is about to turn over 180K miles, 80K I put on in just 3 years). That means fuel prices are also an issue.
The thing I liked about my SC is that it got great freeway mileage, yet it could handle the occasional street challenge or freeway Grand Prix.
I don't need a gazillion horsepower or need the biggest, most powerful engine as long as I get to 60 mph in well under 6 seconds

One of you will crack. It's a long time until Sept. and even longer if info was gained on the covnert or top model. Resistance is futile.
