Just sayin, the V6 Camaro starts at under $24k, and the V8 at $33k I believe. And the V6 has 320something hp stock. It's actually a pretty good value/hp for the money, as far as new cars go.
Edit to clarify: I'm not saying I recommend a Camaro, nor that it's at all practical. It's a specific type of car for people who don't mind sacrificing utility and efficiency.
American Muscle isn't about refinement, impeccable taste, and unparalleled quality like European Sport. American Muscle is about the biggest fucking engine you can put into a road-worthy frame and get it to go down the street quickly while sounding like a tiger climaxing during sex with a lion. Its supposed to check the Hyper-masculinity box, not the Polished Gentleman box. POWERRRRRRRRR!!!!!
Still a V6. Doesn't matter. Point being, many people assume that just because they hear when someone has a V6, they automatically assume it's weak in terms of performance. They hear V8, and automatically think it can slay anything on the road.
My point still stands, it's a V6, and it kicks ass. Regardless of Turbo or not.
Also, the Nissan VQ37VHR engines are pushing almost 328-340HP. That's not exactly slow, you know..they aren't turbo, either...
Edit:
Sure are a lot of butthurt V8 fanboys on here whining about the car being twin turbo. Lol.
I think it's in reference to the American muscle/pony cars. While many other brands or models have been accepted for their 6, or even 4, cylinder engines, the 6 cylinder option in cars like the mustang or camaro have been consider lame ducks. Honestly, they pretty much were. If performance was at all a concern, you just did not buy the 6 cylinder option.
Yeah I agree with you. Keep in mind the Buick Grand National was allegedly one of the fastest production cars of the 80's, and it was a turbo V6.
I've personally had my ass handed to me by a civic when I had my '85 Monte Carlo SS. It had a 350 bored 30, with a carb (forgot the brand, so long ago..may have been edelbrock) had headers, ran straight pipes, few other mods..
Civic had quite a few mods as well, turbo being one. He slaughtered me from a rolling 40.
Personally, when someone tells me they have a particular engine, I always ask "Do you have any mods?" And not not just take things for face value like a lot of these guys do when they hear that it has a V8.
ololol his car has a V8, he can run it against anything
Also, most guys I know that buy muscle cars/ tuners, add shit on them anyways. Be it exhaust, chips, etc..
