I wonder whose car you drove....

That's probably what's gonna wind up happening with me too. But see, if I'm gonna have a sports car that's gonna stand out no matter what, might as well get a bright color to go along with it

V6 Camaro's are fun, if anything I think they're the ideal "city" Camaro since in large metro areas (like yours truly) you cannot really take advantage of 400+ HP.

There have been more than a few moments when I have contemplated trading in my SS for a 2LT simply because I only really get to open up the SS about 2-3 a month when I'm making a highway trip north into Washington or south further into Oregon.

Don't get me wrong, I love my V6. But there comes a time in your life where you want to upgrade to big brother V8.

Oh yeah no doubt, I was just speaking on the comparison between the 6 and the 8.

Always wanted the 8, but can't afford it with college. One of these days.

Wish I could have brought myself to get that Z/28 a couple weeks ago. It would have been nice, but I didn't find it worth it to spend about 1/2 of my income on a car while I am still in college.

Oh yeah. No doubt. I think the V6 is way more practical

I find tons of opportunities to open up every day in my city...my problem is keeping my foot out of it.
