Question 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

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

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.

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.

Limted slip, 5-speed, torquey engine all in a RWD car, is always fun
