not trying to be mean

[silverz28camaro]

I know everyone says they bought a v6 for gas milage and efficiency, well my 2000 z28 gets 26 mpg bought it for 9000 and runs 13.1 stock, why buy a 17 sec camaro, by the way how much did you guys buy your car for. for as much as every try to make a v6 fast and the money they put into it they could of had a v8 car

here is some advise go on auto trader .com and you can fin a v8 usually lt1 but its better than a 6. i found one for 4900 with 122,000 miles not bad, ok u may have to drive a couple hundred miles but once you drive the 8 it all comes together. yah an 6 can be fast but you do loose drivability and reliability, plus the sound will never match up to a v8

if you can sell your car for 3500 if its worth it and get a 2 year 2000 dollar loan and you should be able to find you v8, if you have a job then 95 dollars a month for 2 years is cheap

TRUST me chicks love V8s, it gets them.....ya know

['99 SLP#24]

What is the point of this post? Are you just trying to bash on those people that would rather drive a V6?

[silverz28camaro]

like i said not trying to be mean if you want a 6 the get one i was just trying to help people who dont think they can afford a v8, sorry if it came out wrong

[silverz28camaro]

some people do want a v8 over a v6 all you have to do is find them, and how about you 99 slp would you rather be in a v6

[oneBADDz]

Not everyone wants to be fast. Some people own cars to get from point A to point B, imagine that.

['99 SLP#24]

I happen to own a 99 V6 for my daily driver and I wouldn't trade it for a V8, it gets great gas mileage, I don't have to put 91 octane in it and the insurance is a lot cheaper. So yeah I guess.

[MegaMan]

well, to address your original post, you mentioned selling a car, taking out a $2000 loan, and buying an 8. that right there is the reason i did not buy an 8. i couldn't afford a v8 that was in roughly the same shape as my v6 at the time. i had my heart set on a third gen T/A, but ironically couldn't find one in my price range in my time frame. $2000 makes a huge difference to a college student.

to address the performance issue, some people enjoy working on a 3.4 or 3.8 v6 more then an LS1/LT1. personally it doesn't make a difference to me as far as f-bodies go. think about this though, it takes a lot more time and effort to make a v6 go as fast as a v8. some people find pride in such work. on the other end of the spectrum, so people just do not care about performance. at the moment, i do not have money for upgrades. i've done some exhaust work, but that's about it. i just like having an enjoyable car to drive. hopefully, i'll have a good job when i graduate and buy some goodies for my next car.

to address the ladies issue...i don't need 2 more cylinders to land me a woman. :)

Exactly what I was going to say. Insurance is a big factor, mine would be 1200 higher a year with a v8 and being 18 years old and going to college next year it would be hard affording 3300 a year in car insurance.

[ProwlerZ]

Not trying to mean, but I think this post is retarded. I'm not sure why silverz28camaro felt the need to try to talk the V6 world into converting... I guess I should just start walking up to couples and telling them that they should leave each other and find mates that are more to my tastes.

I had an 01 V6, and I did trade it in on an 02 Z; While I'm very happy with my car now, I was paying less before on insurance, gas, tires, oil, and parts. Some people buy these cars because they're fast, some because they look nice, if you're a looks person, there's no sense in buying an 8 cylinder, when the 6 is peppy enough, with less to worry about.

[ttocs]

Im trying to figure out why you are making fun of the v6 people? And why your trying to brag about your car. WOOO!!!, you have a v8 and got your car for 9000, congradufuckinlations....im also sorry that you need a car to pick up chicks, that says a lot about yourself too. 99% of girls also wont know the diff between a v6 and v8 camaro, TRUST me, so quit your shit...im with prowler, this was a rediculously pointless post.

['99 SLP#24]

Stupid thread of the week nominee!!!!:notworthy:

[Hotrod]

I still don't understand why people seem to think that V6=SLOW? I bought my car brand new as a 2000 Chevy Camaro 3.8 liter, and when I bought it back then there was a $10,000 difference between the V6 and the V8. Maybe used one's would have been closer in price but who wants a "ragged-out" sports car with high mileage? At the time I couldn't afford the extra $10,000 nor could I afford V8 insurance. When I got rid of my V6, it could outrun any stock/midly modded Z-28 or SS, I probably didn't spend $10,000 making it that fast, plus I saved hundreds each month on my insurance. So to me it was well worth it!

Besides that, not everyone purchases two-door coupes so that they can race them. Yes it does bother me to see a bone stock SS or WS-6, but some people buy them for the looks!

Oh and my wife found it hillarious to ride in my little, underpowered, V-6, when I blew by the typicall smart-ass kid.

[camarolvr69]

k heres my question. if the insurance wasnt an issue would you guys honestly pick a v6 over v8 camaro for being fun to drive? v8 gets 18-25 mpg and the v6 gets 19-29 so the fuel economy isnt to bad. Whats more fun than leaving mustangs in your rearview or burnouts? i definently agree that this thread wasnt the greatest.. but v8s are alot more fun to drive :yup: :drivin: plus you cannot beat the rumble of a v8 :cheers: :love:

your a fucking idoit. who cares what other people drive... i'm sur if they wanted to drive a v8..they'd get one..other people have more bills that they have to pay for and might not be able to afford a loan...or might not have credit....not to mention insurance. do you go on honda sites and do the same shit? and the chicks that you think that like your v8..probably think you have a small dick and are trying to make up for it with a fast car.

[camarolvr69]

wow dude chill...we are all chevy fans and im sure we all like horsepower so cant we all just get along :lol: no but seriously you have a v8 so why are you yelling at him ? :wall:

[ProwlerZ]

Man, this turned into a good post! Oh, and Camarolvr69, I know I'm already picking on ya in the other thread, but I gotta tell you, justifying the V8 for racing and burnouts.... you get an LS1 as the first car and we'll be hearing about it on the news. Back on topic though; I find it funny that almost all of the comments about the original post are coming from people driving eights, who are only reading this because the guy posted in the LS1 forum to come read the good points he made in this thread. I'm hoping he thinks about what he is writing before he makes another post...

[bene]

Wow, this post is the gAy!

Chicks dig V8s... :toetap: :thinkin: You're jokin' right?:lol:

[Camarokid]

Ive never met a chick that didnt beg me to drive my 6. Truth is they dont know shit. they see Speedy sports car must be rich. no need to pop the hood. Its not about what motor you got in your car... its how you use it i bet half the people on this site would be fuckin scared to ride with me.

[Camarokid]

one more thing I took the muffler off once and it sounded meaner than any fuckin v8 youd ever own with an exhaust. and i didnt like it, the whole fuckin car shook, some people dont like that huge fuckin rumble. I do like it, but some people dont.

I'm thinkin about posting a pool and asking if this is the dumbest thread ever posted in the history of this website

I bought my 6 4 years ago the year after I graduated with my first job out of highschool. I didn't make very much money and the 400 in my 80 Trans Am has just blew up and I needed something reliable. 4 Years ago these cars weren't even close to as cheap as you mention, plus in Canada the TA's and Z's hold their value better in the states. You guys get them way cheaper down there. Right now an 96 LT1 with 100,000 km on it will go for about 10,000. The cheapest LS1 I've ever seen up here was going for 17,000.

Since I bought my car I've over doubled my income, but for years my Bird has been extremely reliable and looks great. I've done alot of fun things to it, like put on a supercharger, and then swapped that out for a nitrous system. On the spray my car can beat LT1's without sacrificing drivability whatsoever. However my car is starting to get alot of milage on it, and next year I think I'll probably buy a fourth gen V8.

There are alot of reasons why people buy a six, whatever the reason a V6 can be alot of fun, and make a great project car. Oh and FYI stock V6's run around 15.2 - 15.5 or so, not 17.

[camarolvr69]

so basically you run with accords sentras and civics :haha: :haha:
j/k nothing wrong with owning a pony car you know camaro is a camaro :yup:

lmao, he doesnt get it either:lol: Hes prolly a confused ricer at heart-therefore he likes the sound of ricer cars more then muscle. He took the exhaust off and it sounded like a ricer, hence why he liked it. Just my specualtion:hide:

[i not tarted]

i have a '99 a4 3.8l v6 camaro and love it. im not ashamed/embarased(sp?)/feel less manly or any of that other bs you might think. i paid $3500 for it 2 years ago, it had about 70xxx miles when i bought it. ive gotten nothing but compliments on how it looks and the exhaust i have on it. it looks just as good if not better than any z or ss. yes, id love to have an ls1 SS or Z but cant afford it right now, i have a beautiful 2 year old daughter and SHE IS #1 PRIORITY!! originally when i was looking for camaros, i was actually looking for '88-'92 IROC-Z28's but couldnt find a decent one, thats when i stumbled across my 99, i couldnt pass up the deal, pw, pl, t-tops...all the goodies

heres a link.... http://brotrippin420.blogspot.com/

[MegaMan]

theres no way you can beat the sound of a v8 with a v6 without a muffler :thumbdn:
ok? i haven't heard too many up close, but v8's stock sound relatively quiet compared to a 6 with exhaust. just my opinion. if we're talking tone quality, one has 6 cylinders, one has 8. that means they are two different engines.
so basically you run with accords sentras and civics :haha: :haha:
j/k nothing wrong with owning a pony car you know camaro is a camaro :yup:
after reading your posts in this thread, i'd recommend steering clear of an LS1 as your first car.

now let's lock up this thread before people start blasting stupidity in other people's faces.

[camarolvr69]

ok? i haven't heard too many up close, but v8's stock sound relatively quiet compared to a 6 with exhaust.

ummm ok how bout you take a little trip to ls1sounds.com:burnout: :haha: :haha:

[bene]

3.8 v6 with exhaust sounds pretty good but its not as good with LS1 with exhaust. Its like comparing peas and watermelons.:thinkin:

I have dynomax 3 CB on my firebird (v6), and at idle the six rumbles like it have 8 cylinders but when I do WOTs... Yeah, you'll know its a six. Now my LS1 has the rumble similar to a mustang (bassani X system) but with balls instead of hollowish exhaust tone.

[bene]

ummm ok how bout you take a little trip to ls1sounds.com:burnout: :haha: :haha:

Dude, read again what he said... STOCK V8 exhaust vs. V6 with exhaust.

LS1 sounds= all AFTERMARKET exhaust.:itsok:

[dreaded_hope]

so basically you run with accords sentras and civics :haha: :haha:


I run with accords sentra's and civics? :thinkin: Maybe with them about 2 bus lengths behind me. :wtcslap:

[camarolvr69]

"but v8's stock sound relatively quiet compared to a 6 with exhaust"
he said v6 with exhaust so why cant i compare v8 with exhaust? :dunno:
"one has 6 cylinders, one has 8. that means they are two different engines."
i mean if he actually goes to ls1sounds.com and listens to the v8s he will know the difference in "tone quality" v6~bumblebee and the v8~low rumble or loud scream

[camarolvr69]

if you quoted my whole post it says that it was a joke...so dont take it too seriously :nono:

[01rallysport]

Man this thread is too funny! I can't stand those people who think a V6 f-body is just stupid. I wanted a brand new car. I didn't have the money to pay for a really nice V8, so it was either a fully loaded V6 or a stripped out V8. I was more into the looks at the time so I got the V6. And it's one of the best looking Camaro's around my area. I for one would rather have the looks. Because lets get serious, if you're talking about impressing most women.... they'd rather ride in a hot looking car then being scared to death by the power of a 305hp engine.

And some people like V6's better because the feeling is so much better when you beat a Mustang GT. :yup: I had a cam and bolt ons and was running the same 1/4 mile times as a GT. So on the streets when they'd lose traction I'd leave them behind. :drivin:

But yeah, who just comes out and makes a thread like this? :lol:

[madman101]

i've got a v6 t- tops good paint job 5 speed 96 model cold air intake rearend out of 01 ss 100 shot nos clutch kit great interior aftermarket tail lights i only give 2000 for the whole car oh and the 01 ss chrome rims stock v-8s are fun to beat with a 6 but only if the driver is a prick other than that i like racing imports cause they all think they can beat a 6 not this though

[powermad]

My little bro has a V6 camaro and while a spin in my cammed Vette makes his balls swell his money goes to college right now and even the V6 walks circles around the 4-cylinder S10 he had (but hell, a moped would do that).

[BigFrosty]

I had a V6 camaro when i was LEARNIG TO DRIVE:lol:
No but I really did love that car when I got it it was fun all of junior and senoir year i had it. Every1 thought i had the coolest car. But once i graduated from high school i steped it up to a LS1 and the v6 in NO WAY compares not in sound not in style and espically NOT IN POWER. To me the v6 is a waste of money unless your a chick or a student.

[mobileone]

I first had a 2000 v6 firebird, then I wanted an LS1 and got a 2000 Trans AM and kept the v6. So now I have both. I use the v6 as a DD and the trans am on the weekends. But I love em both and I wouldn't get rid of either one.

[SexyAssFormula]

I had a 3.4 L V6 Bird, the slowest 4th Gen V6. Eventhough it was a V6 and slow, i put a lot of my paychecks into it and enjoyed my time with that car. When I saw my car on Cars.Com, I couldnt pass it up and decided to get rid of the six. I have no sympathy however for the V6 crowd getting picked on by ppl with V8's. The only reason for that is when I had my V6, The 3.8 ppl would say how there 3.8's were sooo much better than 3.4's. I guess its all part of the car food chain. It never ends.

[jerry caesar]

I've stumbled across this post while searching around for V6 fbody info. After reading the post and analyzing it, I decided to join your forum and share my opinion.

Yes, its obvious that the V8 will have gobs of power over a V6 but when will people understand that not all of us go driving around looking to race, acting all boy racer. I dont mean to imply this to all V8 owners, just to the owners who dont care to open their minds.

I am the second owner of a unrestored original 1976 Trans Am 455/4spd. My father was the original. Its definately not one of the quickest or fastest Trans Ams produced, especially with the low compression 455, but have I done any motor work, no. Do I plan on modding it, no. I love the car for what it is. I dont care if one of the Ls1 boyz could blow my doors off.

Is it the power that makes you love the car? Or it it the car itself? If a v8 owner wouldnt buy a v6 f-body because of its "lack of power" what does that say? Would any car with power be good for you? And please dont mention the brand loyalty BS, ford sux, dodge sux, etc. Cause I'm sure some of you have thought about the 02 and 03 (correct?) supercharged cobras at some point.

Lt1 owners, just because a newer more powerful LS1 comes out do you trade your lt1 in?

Does the name Grand National or '89 Aniversary ring any bells? Not V8s of course, but go ahead and try feed the line that "sixers suck, need F.I. to keep up with real men".

But if we all only cared about speed we would all go out and buy clapped out 5.0 mustangs right? Since its so cheap to build them...

[MegaMan]

Good first post, and welcome! Now get yourself registered with ls1.com pronto. :)

...
I don't have a problem with any V6 models , everyone don't need to drive the same thing (IE: V8's), but to answer a few of your questions....

Yes you sell the LT1 and get a LS1 if you can financially do it ..... Same reason you sell your 04' GTO for an 05' or newer.

And my 89' Anniversary rings my bell every time I beat my LS1 Formula with it.

[jerry caesar]

Megaman, yes, ive been a member on there for a lil over a week now, but im not impressed. The fellas with the turbo cars seem to bully that site, even though I would agree that a turbo in that situation is better than the Rksport supercharger but ragging on any post on the topic supercharger is begining to irritate me. Especially when I'm trying to gather info on the subject.

camarov6 forum isnt too bad, but they need to clean up all the hundreds of reposts and sort out their good info and give definite answers.

0to60n4.5, im not sure you completely grasped the concept of my post. Specifically why would you want to trade in your Lt1 for an Ls1? Same as the GTOs. Is it just for the power? If so why own the car? Is it the power that makes you love the car? Or it it the car itself? Or do you have to own the newest baddest thing that comes out?

[tonyjnjz]

as far as the cobra comment 02, 03 ( correct) 03, 04 jerrry ;) sick cars those are with a few k in mods but i like mine much better :D and btw great first post back there ..i used to own an 87 firebird v6 and i loved that car even though its a brick on wheels

[Hurley711]

Ok V6 guys here it is for you...the "List"


WS6/TA/SS/Z28 you REALLY want...trust me YOU DO!! $10k

$6000--Your V6 trade in value
$1500--Your sister pimped out 3 times for $500 a pop to local junkies
$150---Stolen $$$ from your dads wallet
$100---4 blood donations to diff Red Cross locations in the same day
$200---4 sperm donations to local sperm banks
$500---Sell your PS2 and every game you own on Ebay
$450---Fuck a hooker and than kill her and take all of her daily earnings
$500--pimp your little sister out again to whoever takes her
$33.07--all the change laying around your house and in your car
$566.93--One of your kidneys......who needs 2 anyway?
=$10,000

Think about guys!! Isn't the above list worth it?? Chicks will love you and your newfound V8!!:yup:

[MegaMan]

Ceasar, I don't venture into the forced induction section much, but that's a shame. I know Pathogen over there runs a supercharger and knows some stuff, if you wanna look her up.

Hurley~ Nice list. LoL. I just have to go out and kidnap someone's little sister.

Like everyone else said... nice first post! I couldn't agree with you more about FTV6. It's the same people that run that site that actually post up........ If you say one thing that they don't agree with then you're pretty much the enemy from there on out.

[jerry caesar]

thanks everyone.

that and im glad some of you do agree with me about the v6 sites.

[0to60n4.5]

0to60n4.5, im not sure you completely grasped the concept of my post. Specifically why would you want to trade in your Lt1 for an Ls1? Same as the GTOs. Is it just for the power? If so why own the car? Is it the power that makes you love the car? Or it it the car itself? Or do you have to own the newest baddest thing that comes out?

You buy a car because you like the car , but whats the problem with getting the biggest Mill that was offered? I have done that in everything I have owned . for example- 2 snowmobiles that look and handle exactly the same - 580cc twin or an 800cc triple , sorry I opted for the 800 .. ...2 wave runners 701 twin or a 1100 triple , again I went for the 1100 .

Owning the newest baddest thing out is the dream of more people than you think and is also a lot of fun.

Your missing your own point on a few items: Anyone who had an LT1 already had a V8 for the reason that was obvious to them, so ya they most likely would want a LS1 if the can make it happen.

People bought the GTO for the power the car had not any other reason, So when the up the ante by 50 hp most wanted the newer model. Some can make the change , some can't.

Would your car ( 76 TA ) be as cool to you if it was a Firebird Esprit with a straight 6 , I don't think so.

And brand loyalty means a lot more to people than you think.

[jerry caesar]

I'm going to make one thing clear, Im not trying to make anyone look dumb, and I'm not justifying that we shouldnt buy v8s but that not everyone is power and speed hungry and dont try to justify that we all should buy V8's as the guy who originally posted.

I understand what youre trying to say but youre not staying with the topic of my post. Youre only picking certain things. Youve brought the subject of "cool" into the picture also. Which I believe in some of the above posts have been talked over. Which has nothing to do with this at all. Also, you have tried to justify everything so far with power. But not with what Ive been trying to get across, loving a car for what it is. Not constantly trading in just to get more power.

But I'll go through your replies and respond to each. Even though my original post still answers them.

there is no problem with getting the biggest mill, no one has ever mentioned that. Do it if you can, as you mentioned. Not that we were ever talking about snowmobiles to begin with either. What if we introduced the idea of wives? Find a better woman? Swap her? lol hopefully we love whom we have. But maybe you dont want to have the biggest baddest wet dream on the streets. Which isnt what this post is about, back to my original ricky racer, speed racer, boy racer persona(sp) or as you call it fun. Suspension, styling, etc. Maybe not everyone looks at the hp specs and calls it done.

And no im not missing anything about the Lt1 vs Ls1 ordeal. It's a perfect example for what im trying to show. Dont go about money again. Same with the goats, trade your new goat in just for 50 hp? So I'll just take your answer as "Power". Maybe the owner bought an LT1, but what makes you think hp will make him trade it in? To you OF COURSE POWER, And others as well. Which is what we are discussing right? Go ahead give up, trade her in. Why are people still driving modded lt1s? Happy with them? Or maybe in your reasoning waiting to save money?

And yes if I had a Firebird espirt in my Garage I would still love it, know why? It would be the same reason as to why I love my T/A. Apparently you missed it in the original post. I dont care how fast it is. Youre gonna tell me that espirt wouldnt get attention going down the road? I'm sure you'd laugh about how slow it would be if we ever met at a stop light, but I apparently can't get you around that idea.

And you took the brand loyalty out of context as well. I didnt want posts about FORD, DODGE, HONDA sux because I associated the supercharged mustang into my topic.

I understand that your all about power in a car, but understand that there are some people in this world who are not. So dont think the bottom line in the car world is money and speed. Racers, yes.

Oh yes dont think I'd like to have a 500 HP motor in my T/A, its just not what I want that car to have. I want a v6 car to tinker with, rebuild, boost, stylize. Heck I may even start with a lt1 car, since the market is full of them now due to trade-ins....

I drive a V6 so that I can pay for my education and buy a fast enough and modded enough ride to waste your illiterate dumb ass once I graduate with my engineering PhD.

:yup:




I know everyone says they bought a v6 for gas milage and efficiency, well my 2000 z28 gets 26 mpg bought it for 9000 and runs 13.1 stock, why buy a 17 sec camaro, by the way how much did you guys buy your car for. for as much as every try to make a v6 fast and the money they put into it they could of had a v8 car

here is some advise go on auto trader .com and you can fin a v8 usually lt1 but its better than a 6. i found one for 4900 with 122,000 miles not bad, ok u may have to drive a couple hundred miles but once you drive the 8 it all comes together. yah an 6 can be fast but you do loose drivability and reliability, plus the sound will never match up to a v8

if you can sell your car for 3500 if its worth it and get a 2 year 2000 dollar loan and you should be able to find you v8, if you have a job then 95 dollars a month for 2 years is cheap

TRUST me chicks love V8s, it gets them.....ya know

Why would I laugh @ anyones car , I don't care what anyone drives.

I would also leave your TA just as it is , I'm sure it is a car tons of people would love to have.

And if you get a car to tinker with , do yourself a favor and start with the V8 , you'd be glad you did.

Can you tell I'm all about the power yet?

[StangKiller615]

some people do want a v8 over a v6 all you have to do is find them, and how about you 99 slp would you rather be in a v6

Insurance may be an issue for some. Although, it can still be high on a v6. When I turned 17 back 99 I wanted a 98-99 Z28, but with me being 17 I knew that insurance was going to be outrageous, so I got a nice deal on a 98 v-6 with low mileage. It was a great car, and after I paid the 6 off when I turned 21, I sold the 6 and went out and got my baby, a 2001 Camaro SS. So I imagine that some folks with accidents, and lots of points on their driving record just cant afford the high insurance rates. The only reason I owned a 6 was: I loved the 98 Camaro body style(didnt really care for the 93-97), was 17 at the time. Now that Im 23 years old with clean driving record and more responsible insurance is not an issue. All in all I believe that every v-6 owner would rather have a v-8 powered F-Body.

silverstar. ur a dumba$$ not everyone modifys a firebird. thats prob why they drive a v6

[MadSeason]

keep it civil in here

[blk02ws6vert]

Ive never met a chick that didnt beg me to drive my 6. Truth is they dont know shit. they see Speedy sports car must be rich. no need to pop the hood. Its not about what motor you got in your car... its how you use it i bet half the people on this site would be fuckin scared to ride with me.


you better rephrase that, not all woman are ignorant about cars, i bet my gf would put you to shame with the knowledge she has about cars
oh and :hahano: im sure that you never hit 155mph in your v6 so the only way anyone would be scared to drive with you would be if you drove your 118mph and started swerving like a retard

[blk02ws6vert]

one more thing I took the muffler off once and it sounded meaner than any fuckin v8 youd ever own with an exhaust. and i didnt like it, the whole fuckin car shook, some people dont like that huge fuckin rumble. I do like it, but some people dont.

I'm thinkin about posting a pool and asking if this is the dumbest thread ever posted in the history of this website


sorry but your a huge liar, theres no way your v6 sounded "meaner" than ANY v8 when you took the exhaust off, my brother has a v6 and with the exhaust off it sounds like a ricer on crack, and i thought the guy who made this post was a tool

[F-Bomb]

wow how many time did you guys hit the delete key trying to spell all those words in a e mail frenzy, im not knocking anybody down if you even are lucky enough to have a car to drive and do custom mods you are ahead of the crowd.
of coarse takeing your muffler toataly off is not a mod yea it sounds mean but has absolutly no function. straight headers off any motorized car gets me off
shit lets go find a lawn mower!:Puke:
