I think the last guy hit the nail on the head about companies gearing towards v8's because that's what usually brought the money. But then again, the v6 mustang already has more going for it then the v6 camaro.
The v6 has been on sale and out on the streets for what, 2 years now? The whole "it's still a new engine" is played out. Especially since there has been no progress with any other tunes besides one.

Keep in mind, people on this website are not normal ... most have a much higher interest in their cars than the general population.
But you are right, I'm just speculating here. But its hard to get around the idea that if a V6 owner wanted a faster car, they probably would have simply bought an SS in the first place (potentially used, if cost was a factor), especially for more recent buyers. Thinking about it the other way ... if sales dictate the mod-potential of a car, then the aftermarket support for the Toyota Camry would dwarf that of the Camaro. Something tells me, thats not the case. Typical Camry buyers have different values than the typical Camaro buyer. Likewise, differences exist between
typical SS buyers and
typical V6 buyers. They're smaller, obviously, but still there.
