  • how many cylinders?

    If you were buying your 5th gen. Camaro tomorrow would it be a V6 or a V8?

    just a fun poll..oh, and we don't need any rants on how you'd rather buy another car because you're upset with some aspect of the 5th gen...let's keep this one positive!

    300 hp from a v6? Sounds like plenty to me!

      Been following the new Camaro since day one. Drove out to Detroit to see the unveiling too :D

      I'm going to go with the v8 at first. I don't want to spend more than 35k total, so as long as I can get one under that I'll be happy. If not, the fully loaded v6 is all good.

        Would like the V8 but think I could only afford the V6. Anyone hear of why they are not using the Z28 designation? I read they might use it later on a supercharged version but it seems weird (at least since the SS has had more power since they brought back the SS designation during the 4th generation) that the Z28 would have more power then the SS.

                I'm sure the cost to buy it and insure it will force many to opt for the V6. But over 300hp is not bad at all.

                        Of course I'm going to try for a V8, but if I can't afford it or something like that, I'll be perfectly happy with a 6 :)

                              alright, so I made this poll because I can't make up my mind and wanted some input from you guys. I see the benefits and disadvantages of both the V8 and the V6. 300 hp to start with is no joke, but will the V6 have that wow factor? I don't know! I've owned two V6 model cars now also available in V8 (my 3.4 Camaro and 3.5 Magnum)...love both cars, but the itch to have either with a V8 is strong. I still can't make up my mind!
