If it's just a plain camaro (V6) I'd sell it and get either an LS1 or LT1. LS1s are usually easier to find in good shape. V6s can be fast, but a v8 makes things a lot easier.

It is possible to just own a nice v8 camaro and not race it. They provide enjoyment at all speeds.

V6, strip it and make it a race car. Put an LSX block in it.
