My v6 was purchased brand new with 33 miles on it.

I'm talking about 2 tuned vehicles. The SS opened up a lot with a tune, the v6 was pretty much where it should be tune wise and power, just needed a good amount of fueling adjustments because GM ran them way too lean from the factory. Relied far too much on the knock sensors to keep the car in check.

I'm not talking out of my ass like some owners do, I have physically owned both vehicles, and both sides of the coin.

I'm also not against v6s, my one project car, and car that I love the most in my fleet is a v6 powered Monte Carlo that I have procharged.
