All V6 Owners Inside...

Hello all...
I was just wondering what your favorite part about your V6 Camaro/Firebird is...whether it be a 3.4L, 3.8L, or whatever...what's your favorite part about it?

My answer would definately be the handling...the Z28 just doesn't seem to be quite as nice to me for some reason...could just be in my mind, but I find it a joy to drive the big bad 3.4L beast http://web.camaross.com/bb/biggrin.gif

My favorite is the expression on the driver's face of a v8 mustang when he sees me stay by his side.

Mine too would have to be the handling.

With the 3.4........its not hard to have that me the best part. http://web.camaross.com/bb/smile.gif

I would say the look. There are plenty of fast cars out there, but they all look like crap.

On the books, a Civic Si hits 60 mph in 7.2 sec, whereas a 3.8 fbody hits it in 7.4. I'll wait the extra 2 tenths of a second to not have to ride around in a whiny sounding, ugly looking piece of crap car.

For the money, I don't think that you could get as sleek of car. Even the mustangs don't have our racecar look.

2nd gear

The sound and the looks , It sounds awesome with the borla with headers. Soon Ill be taking the C. Converter off and it should sound really nice with my headers , oh and the looks are stunning , I love my car.

I love the sleek design...
I love the power of the 3.8L (not a V8 but it's powerful)
I love how I can stay next to a stock GT.
I love the way my car hands every Honda it's a$$ on a silver platter.

Hmm... I used to like a lot of stuff about my car. Now, it just seems like a waste to have to put up with it without having all that extra power.

It does look and sound great, though. I suppose in a few years, I might be able to afford something that looks, sounds, handles, and accelerates great too.

I have the Medium Quasar Blue color and after 7 years it still looks great. Chrome and a deep blue.....man that goes together right at dusk. Hehe you know what I am talking about Mustangeater82? I mean there are so many red and black camaros you just don't see the blue that often. Guys don't get me wrong the red and black look sweet but am I blue all the way through.

I don't have any huge mods right now but maybe in the future.....

yep what I love about my car too. I was eyeballing this car since the day my dad bought it in 1994. I wish they still made the color, closest thing is the Electron BLue Vette.

I like my color also... Mystic Teal isn't toooo popular in this area. The only other one I've seen is one of my best friends '97 Firebird. I did however see 3 other F-bodies with the same color down in Greensboro over the weekend.

T-tops are nice on warm days... chicks seem to dig it.

Gas mileage is nice

1st and 2nd in the 3.4 is pretty nice w/ exhaust and intake mods http://web.camaross.com/bb/wink.gif

I would say the sound and the handling. I put a WS6 SLP Takeoff on it and sounds meaner than this girls camaro z28 i know. And the fact that you can run with a GT and, waste a GT on summer day while their running the a/c and lay waste stock 6 stang.

Notice no one is saying the motor? Thats cuz a camaro is a not a camaro if it has a v6. They should call them something cute like Sunshine and then you guys could get a spoiler and ground fx with the Sunshine RS. wouldn't that be nice.

If its fast, its not a v6.

I will agree with the looks as well, I love the 4th gen's...I like the 93-97 Camaro's over 98+ but I like the 98+ F/B - T/A, that's just my opinion though, not saying they are better http://web.camaross.com/bb/wink.gif...And yes, second gear is very sweet.

As for the guy coming in here trying to flame...I have a variety of vehicles to choose from to drive on any given day, and that includes Z's, T/A's, lots of others, and yes, my beloved 3.4 A4 ...I enjoy driving my V6, and it is very worthy of the Camaro name...it doesn't have the power (DUH!) of a V8, but it is still extremely fun to drive, and has the looks. So you think I don't know how much more underpowered the V6 Camaro or Firebird is?? Think again-b/c I do, and I still enjoy driving the V6...
(This is not to add fuel to the flame, I just wanted it to be known that V6's are excellent cars...and I hope that you understand AIT_R that I just wanted that to be understood, and that you will help this perfectly good post keep from becoming a flame war) http://web.camaross.com/bb/smile.gif

Now, what else do all of you guys enjoy about you V6, it's nice to know what each persons own little perk is... http://web.camaross.com/bb/biggrin.gif

The fun to drive factor is a definate 10, my comute is all back roads.
3.8 is high up there, great all around power with some to spare.
bad ass looks, the kind of car that parents fear there kids bringing home.
and last CAYENNE RED METALIC! I am the only one on this bord with a V6 in that color, that is what is keeping me from selling and going with another bright red or black one.
