Can't fucking stand the fact these two cars come with anything besides a V8. Of course it is simple economics, i get it but.....

I am so sick of all these dipshits driving their new "sports cars" thinking they are cool.

If you don't want a V8, buy a fucking nissan,honda,audi, or something that should have a V6.

Don't support this utter gayness.

Why would you even spend a second of thought guessing what other people think about themselves when they drive a car? You have no way of ever knowing if you're right.

a corvette C6 ZO6 will run with any exotic, and for a fraction of sticker and maintenance price

a getbig analogy on this subject:

how would a powerlifting competitor or fan feel if they added hyperextensions and concentration curls to the "big 3"

Ever time I walk down the street, some fool drives by and revs it up and then turns around to see if I was watching. Yeah dawg, my ford ranger has the same damn motor in it

. Maybe if they weren't owned by everybody and his brother they would be more impressive.

You people have no class. All you think about is how much you can get for the least mount of money. Works great for toilet paper, not for a car.

anything lower than a V12 is a makeshift

Irongrip400 · « **Reply #11 on:** May 19, 2012, 04:38:11 AM »

OP, I agree. It makes it even worse when they have dual exhaust and it sounds like a fucking bumble bee.

Shockwave · « **Reply #12 on:** May 19, 2012, 04:39:55 AM »

Agree with OP.
V6 Mustangs or F-body's should be burned to the ground.
Newsflash - theyre not fast.

I wouldnt quite lump the Buick V6 in with the Mustang/Camaro V6, different animals.

hematocritter · « **Reply #19 on:** May 19, 2012, 08:19:29 AM »

I love all cars, from American v8's to Italian exotics.
The Italians and Germans are getting spanked around the nurburgring by the Americans these days, and not
many people are liking it.
I personally love seeing a 'budget' manufacturer outperforming the exotics.
That doesn't mean I wouldn't want to drive home with an Italian v12 singing behind my driver's seat.
People get way too loyal to particular brands or the nationality of a car. I think its strange, appreciate each car
for what it does.

As far as v6's in American muscle cars, I think it is definitely taking the whole 'muscle' aspect out of them, but
the current ones produce more power than the old v8's did. Ford's V6 mustang gets over 30mpg and makes more power
than the 5.0 and 4.6 GT's a few years back. They are offering fuel efficient alternatives to people that just like the
styling of the car (usually women or kids that can't afford a v8's insurance).

I didn't know we had so many loaded getbiggers that could afford to buy top end cars. Doesn't the base v6 Mustang put out 300hp? That's a lot for a v6. The Corvette is one of the hottest cars out there. The top motors you can get with them can hang with anything.

JBGRAY · « **Reply #21 on:** May 19, 2012, 08:48:49 AM »

The new Mustang, Camaro, and Chrysler Pentastar v6's are all 300+ hp(though the torque curve is less than impressive).

Nowadays, a lot of the new muscle cars and the Corvette are easily in the 800+ HP range......able to pull this off with nowhere near the money required to purchase a high-end European import...and still maintain respectable driveability. People who buy cars like Ferraris, Lambos, etc...buy them for their exclusiveness, uniqueness, and the fact that they have a LOT of money to throw away. If you want to go fast on a relative budget, you would never, ever consider any product out of Europe.

I wasn't per sa just pointing out that America V6's are nothing to scoff at and the new Camaro/Mustang V6 actually have more h/p than the original Grand Nationals did , even the GNX !!

Cashfan · « **Reply #23 on:** May 19, 2012, 09:34:46 AM »

Lol, I love these European automaker nutthuggers. As if the engineering in Italy or Germany is somehow magically better than what is engineered in the United States, Japan or Korea for that matter. Different vehicles for different purposes, sold in different markets. Hematocritter nailed it, like each car for the qualities that make it different and interesting. Cars are a lot like whores in this regard.

Those Grand Nationals were decades ahead of their time.

The American cars are generally only fast in a straight line. Less grip and downforce than the European/Japanese sportscars.
