the 3600 and 3800 series motors are V6's. that number actually refers to the cubic centimeters of the motor. 3800 series = 3.8L.

Id keep your badges how they are...nice sleeper look and unless you get a real loud exhaust, could probably trick a lot of people it is a V6...just my opinion though

In My Opinion, I wouldn't be caught dead in a v6 camaro, nor a v8 that looks like a v6.
