Congrats on your upgrade, but seriously why start a debate on engine choices?
I love my v6.
I love my v8.
I love my procharged v6.
I love each and every one of my cars for their own reasons. You don't always have to have the most powerful option out there to enjoy a car. If you can only afford to own 1 car, sure, go for the SS instead. If you can only afford the v6 but still want a Camaro, big whoop.
