Re: V6's.. why do we get the most ****

you're comparing 3.8 f-bodies to cars built 20 years prior...not exactly a fair comparison

so are alot of these guys judging the 3.8's. while i was in high school only two kids had newer camaros one was the little rich kid with a 99 z28, and the other was a 98 base coupe and the kid got made fun of all the time by the kids with the old 350 camaros(we had 4 2nd gen camaros and 2 birds, both 301's) and a crap load of 305 third gens and 80's mustangs, think the newest mustang i ever saw there was a early 90's and i know it was a v6.

Do or say as you please, for the people that mind, don't matter and the people that matter won't mind.

If you like your car, enjoy it...

Re: V6's.. why do we get the most ****

They gave that mustang the respect because he hung with you!!

I have a feeling you are talking about Shirls post about getting a C5 for 28,000 dollars?? I posted she should get a 01 Z06 that I found instead because it was only 23,000.. and as far as the C5 being a 13 second car and all.. Yes that is slow for a corvette.. Hell the stock C6's have gone 11's!! There are stock Corvettes running 10's.. I remember when I beat down a 01 Z06 in my V6!! I was so happy beating down the fastest corvette ever.. Now a base model corvette is faster then a C5 Z06!! I thought trapping 110 in the 1/4 was pretty good for my bolt on WS6!! Now there are stock GM cars trapping 128mph!!

What I am trying to get at is you are getting the respect, just people are talking about you car behind you back.. they are scared to say in front of people that you have a fast V6 F-body.. I was in you shoes. I use to beat down all these 93-98 GT's with my Bolt on V6 and never really got any respect for it. I couldnt understand why people would buy a GT mustang just to loose to a V6 F-body!! I still dont. They would just say to me nice run wait till I get some mods!! They never said anything nice about my car untill I sold it.. Now every time I see them at work they always bring up how fast my V6 Firebird was and How I beat down there Mustang..

you goal should be a LS1 car.. All I know is beat down a LS1 car in your V6 and you will see the respect. Those Pre 99GT guys wouldnt even want to touch your car!!

Its not just that post I have seen lots of people say the comment, "I wouldn't own a C5 unless its a Z06"

Re: V6's.. why do we get the most ****

I didn't buy my car to race, sure it's nice to know that it's decently fast, but its a driver. It looks good, its fun to drive, it's reliable, and cheap to own. the perfect street car:rock:

Re: V6's.. why do we get the most ****

versus the same car with a extra 400lbs from v8

So the difference between an IRON block/heads 3.8L V6, and an all aluminum 5.7L V8 is 400 lbs? Someone call the press!

Re: V6's.. why do we get the most ****

In the grand scheme of things, people will always have something bad to say.
It is a v6 model....
Oh it's an ls1 and not an ls6, ls2, etc, etc....
American's can't build any good cars...
Well my cousin's friend's brother got 450 hp out a just 3 liters on his such and such....
I bet the gas mileage is terrible...
The new z06 is better....

In reality, who gives a sh!t...
Not me.

Re: V6's.. why do we get the most ****

To be completely honest, nobody has EVER said anything bad about my car.

Almost every time I've taken my car to the track or car show someone says "Holy $hit...thats a V6?!" and then followed by good comments and conversation. Most people are in disbelief that a V6 will take the abuse I put it threw (i.e. nitrous and/or boost) and just ran nearly 7's in the 1/8.

I guess the moral of the story is to put nitrous on your car (or a turbo) and people wont give you as much crap LOL
