The excitement is that the V6 so aggressively runs behind the V8 Mustang. If it wasn't seen as a performer, then it wouldn't be so exciting. The V6 Camaro will have the same excitement level as some imports that have taken the market by storm. While many of those cars are not on the same tier as the Camaro SS, their price makes them competitors. The V6 is that happy medium that gives similar numbers as a less costly price. No—it will not keep up with a 370Z, but those who want a 370Z will look at the Camaro LT as a car that can make them very happy.
I once drove a 1996 Camaro RS. It was great. I had a lot of fun, and it was the fastest car I had driven at the time. A 300-hp V6 is no slouch, and that's what makes it exciting.
Saying that a V6 owner can't be excited because the V8 is faster is like saying that we can't be excited about our V8 because the Corvette is lighter and therefore faster or that the Corvette guys can't be satisfied because a Z06 will beat it. There is always someone faster.
