so you believe that v6 pony cars are the only reason why v8 pony cars exist? i actually think its the opposite. the v8s are for the purist that want a muscle car/pony car for what its supposed to be. the v6 are to get all the people in the door that cant afford the real thing.
i apologize if ive offended you in some way by saying a v6 mustang or camaro is gay. i think it is.
you yourself said that if you were to buy one you would by a v8 one. if the v6 is so awesome why not buy a v6?
the reason why i said do a search is cause theres a 7-10 page long thread in this section debating this exact topic.
like i said in the other thread about this if they made a 12 second corvette that ran on water and got a million miles to the gallon i still wouldnt want it. in my opinion its gay and not what i would want from my corvette. like you said its my opinion. you dont have to agree with me, and im not going to try and sell you on it. feel free to buy the v6 ill save up and get the 8.

but the first time i came across an F-body with some work and they think im the new 5.0 out to play ..... im going to
that i hadnt saved for the 5.0 and could you imagine how much more the camaro or mustang would cost if only offered in V8, because theres something regarding what the overall model gets for gas mileage per units sold or something like that ... and no car manufacturer is going to eat the government taxes to allow you to get a v8 powered muscle car for cheap ... those non-prius, non-catted full horespower wars are long behind us friends ...

yes who ever said that v6's exist for the v8 can live in spot on. Not just for the economic reasons so the board won't get killed by stock holders for low volume sales, but the new federal fuel requirements are going into effect in a few years. The law states every car sold in the U.S. must offer at least one trim of each model that that gets 34.1 mpg. The v-6 camaros and mustangs are first run attempts of reaching those requirements by the model year deadline. Besides everyone hating on v-6's should know that there is going to be a v-6 corvette model more then likely as well to meet the gov. fuel requirements. Face it gentlemen the guys that make the rules are going to kill the large displacement v-8 engines in cars.

Your engine has 50% more displacement, 2 more cylinders and 10 LESS horsepower then a 2011 V6 Camaro, the same as a V6 mustang.
You just sound really sour.
At least the V6 pony cars are RWD, some would say that FWD is gay so maybe people in a glass house shouldn't heave stones.

i really dont mind driving a fwd car at all though. i think it makes you a better driver really. i mean it gives you a pretty good feeling when you out launch a rwd car. and to me its just another obstacle to over come. and v6 pony cars are horrible buys. or they were. at least now they have some power and are actually fast. but before like 02 mustangs and firebirds for example what a waste. rwd so cant drive well in snow and when it is nice out u cant drive fast . ill stick to my grandprix any day. idc if the mustang has the sportiest look ever and has a 900 hp v6. i like my sleeper grandprix and im proud to tell people it has an ls4 in it. and if i want to make it faster ill spend 3800 for a non intecooled turbo kit or 5000 for an intercooled one.

so the other guy saying that the V6 cars allow us to have the V8's is precisely right ... because if all they sold were V8's it would be much more expensive for the consumer, if the car would even be built ... and as far as a V6 corvette ...
chevy should just close its doors before doing that ... it would be like making a monte FWD ... oh wait

There's a 2011 V6 Mustang, automatic, 4.10's, intake, exhaust, and tune that ran 13.1 @ 107 on street tires. But yeah, it's gay only due to the fact that it's a V6. When the V8 cars ran these times with those mods it wasn't gay right? The times have changed. Four cylinders and Six cylinders are now performers. Just due to the number of cyliders doesn't determine the sexual preference of these cars anymore

Some one must have just gotten their head beat in by a V6 mustang.

i didnt realize the camaros had 2.6 v6s in them. you do know that hp isnt the only thing that one needs to be taken into consideration dont you? i dont know the torque specs on the mustang, but i highly doubt that they make the torque the LS4 does.
i dont see how i sound "sour". its my opinion. you dont have to agree, or like it. your pro v6 pony cars more power to you, im not. ill save up for the v8.
i think front wheel drive is very gay. then again i dont consider my DD monte to be a muscle car/pony car, or whatever you want to call the v6 mustang/camaros.
at the end of the day youre on a LSX forum trying to convince the world that the v6 mustang is awesome. if you think that its so great, go join a v6 mustang forum. im sure youll find plenty of people on there with your same views.

I've run against two new V6 Camaro's at our track. Manual was closer than the the auto one by far.. but I was beating them even without a tune. The guy in the manual could have been a sucky driver I guess. The guy in the auto had no chance. I ran him several times and that thing just wouldn't run. Don't know if it was just his car or what.

no i havent gotten my head beat in by a v6 mustang. ive actually beaten one from a 60ish roll. granted it was close. (i never said that they werent quick for what the are.)
i didnt realize the camaros had 2.6 v6s in them. you do know that hp isnt the only thing that one needs to be taken into consideration dont you? i dont know the torque specs on the mustang, but i highly doubt that they make the torque the LS4 does.

if you read his post that i quoted. he said that the camaro has 50% less displacement then the ls4. hence the 2.6 comment. ls4 is 5.3 if you want to get technical then i guess in his eyes the camaros motor is a 2.6 and some changen world beater. anyways carry on.

50% of 3.6 is 1.8, 1.8 plus 3.6 is 5.4, which is why he said ours is 50% more displacement. 
But if you're gonna purchase one of these cars, get a V8, sounds WAY better, more torque, fuel eco isn't that much worse, and in any same model car the V8 will always be faster, mod for mod.
