and with all this new news coming in about how good the V6 really turned out to be, i think ill be more than happy with my car.
You wanna give me there names and addresses?

History has shown that these cars seem immune to gas prices...back in the late 70's were some of the best-selling years for Camaros, and Mustangs, etc. Plus...a bigshot at Ford remarked recently (when asked about Camaro) that history shows us something else...when more cars are added to this "muscle car" soup, the pot gets bigger, so to speak. The market stands a good chance at actually growing, to make room for both Camaro and Mustang.

Personally - I have no doubts that the V6 model will sell 2 or 3, maybe even 4x the numbers that the V8 does. But I don't think Camaro as a whole is in the least bit threatened...gas is something we're all going to have to learn to deal with, untill we get "other" fuels to substitute it.
