im sorry i really think its great that you guys have a 6 banger but why you on camaro z28.com lol this **** is for real power.. but i got to give it to ya it takes a real camaro lover to own a 6 banger and be proud of it,, hang in there one day you gonna sit at the adult table till then ta ta lol , i had one when i was 16 beat the hell out of it and it last so i cant complain not enuff power at all though in the 3.8 going down a hill you feel some wind , then i went to a Lt1 Z28 loved it exhaust cold air and some tint and your set lol i loved her , shed dead in my drive way totaled and no i married to 1999 SS CAMARO LS-1 which i love ohhhhh so much.. KEEP YOUR HEADS UP SANTA HASNT FORGOT ABOUT YA YET!

 

i hope that you pull up next to one of these die hard 6 cylinders one day and get your *** kicked. i have a z28 and yeah i love it. but i wouldn't put down any of these guys without knowing hwo many of them could waste you in the 1/4. it may take a little more to beat an ls1, but i woudl pay to watch them do it to you

 

man don't be an ***....sometimes you just have to play the cards you have!

If they want to work with what they have then why knock em...if its not for you then fine but don't down them b/c they have a V-6

 

one mroe thing about this post....by santa did you mean mommy and daddy. did they buy you your little ls1. soemtimes we don't have that luxury. if all you can afford is a 6, then so be it. at least these guys are dicks. i woudl run with a 6 cylinder any day before i'd ride with a ***** like you

 

Oh no, its another guy with a V8 here to put all the V6 owners in their places. Quick everyone, put your e-***** away because his is obviously much bigger.

Look here, "homie", pick up a dictionary or maybe even attend a community college composition class and then come back here to prove whatever point it is you have to make. Honestly, I think most 5th graders could have written a better (grammatically correct) insult than you just attempted.

I love how some V8 guys act as if it is so hard to own/drive a Z28/SS. What are used V8 f-bodies going for these days? I just spent two minutes searching and found over 6 local SS cars available, all under $20k. For less than a new Honda Accord, I can be just as cool as you and own my very own SS. Then I can come on here and ridicule the lowly V6 owners too! YEAH!!!

On a serious note, don't be an ***. You don't know any of these guys situations to make any judgment on them. They may still be in HS, like you were when you had a V6, in college or just struggling to make it. I'd imagine most could afford to get a Z28/SS, they just have different priorities.

But anyways...blah, I'm done with this e-**** contest.

 

if V6's are so slow and have no power, why is it that just about every month GMHP magazine has several pages on V6 cars. hince the grand national. your Ls1 aint got chit on some of the V6 cars out there. so when you grow up maybe you can have something with some real power.

 

"machine doesn't make the man.. man makes the machine"

I've drove all sorts of cars over the years and for commuting nowdays the 3.8 is, in my opionion, the best logical choice (heres that f*#&ing logic again)... got enogh power to get you out of a tight spot on the highway but still getting nearly 35 mpg which these days means something and especially for me since I drive alot for work (like 400 miles a week)... wish gas was still 25 cents a gallon but it isn't so as much as I would have liked to buy the Z28 I chose the 3.8 instead for gas milage......

 

yea i think that the 96+ 3800s had something like 200 horsies stock... for a 6 that isnt too bad... plus i know there are a few that could outrun my Z

A little harder to make the power... yes
less overall potential... yes

but think of the bragging rights if you did do it (even though it would be big $$)

i had an ex gf with a 96 3800, they werent too big of slouches (and she did look damn sexy in that car too). i had to beat the hell out of my little non-turbo 96 eclipse to be faster than her (probably the driving habits that made me spin a bearing at 96K but i learned my lesson... i swapped the engine, sold it, and bought the maro which i dont have to push as hard to get the performance i want)

i guess all in all what im saying with the previous statements is that a f-body is an f-body... if your in here you should love them all. its like someone buying a 06 base vette and not respecting it because it not a ZO6

 

Troll

I miss my 98 V6, it's somewhere in Canada now, The V8 is quick but thats only one element of the car, I'd love another 3800V6 some day!

 

Troll much? Typical jackass attitude that several new members bring in here. You have to start somewhere ya know. At least the people that own a v-6 first usually don't total their first Z-28.

 

yeah...thats exactly how i learned to drive with a sports car. my first camaro was in h.s. and it was a 1992 305. even slower than the 6 cylinder camaro's. i got my *** handed to me by my g/f's v6 camaro. i have yet to wreck my z28 now. i agree some other people on here. i would almost rather have a v6 for the gas mileage and the bragging rights of the ones that beat the z28's.

 

You're a new member and this is your first post? And while were on the topic of six cylinders and eight cylinders, there are some v6 forced induction cars out there that I would be afraid to touch with a modified v8.

 

A friend of mine has a heads/cam 97 3.8L. I think its awesome! I personally wouldnt settle for a V6 when I bought my 4th gen and the same goes for my 3rd gen I'm picking up next summer, but I think there should be more V6 enthusiasts. My friend is the only person I've ever known or met with a modded 6, and I think that's a shame.

 

I got my 99 solely for the fuel efficiency, I commute 100 kilometers a day and I need all the gas mileage I can get. I used to own a 1986 2.8 and loved it. Besides, I bought it because I love the car, not the engine!!!!

it's got a 5 spd
t-tops
a/c
it turns heads (even for a 6)

What else could you ask for?
